THE NEW OIL OF VOLMIANO, 2021

This year too, the magical moment has arrived! From the end of October Fattoria di Volmiano has begun the olive harvest, from its 20,000 trees, from which “the green gold” of Volmiano will be extracted. The extra virgin olive oil of Fattoria di Volmiano will go on sale on Saturday 6 November.

Volmiano, a historic estate famed in the area and through history for this product, has been making oil since 1427 and is farmed organically. To this day, Volmiano’s oil is produced in the estate’s own mills: the traditional one, cold-pressed with stone grindstones but with stainless steel machinery and a robot to stack the pressing mats, which speeds up the process. The mats are changed once or twice as required. For some years now there has also been a modern mill, likewise cold-extraction, with vertical malaxers and an oxygen-depleted decanter. Volmiano’s mills press their own olives exclusively.
