The extra virgin olive oil produced by Vasco Sassetti in Montalcino is a testament to the craftsmanship and passion for tradition that characterize this renowned brand. The olives used for production come from selected groves, cultivated using natural and environmentally friendly methods.
The olives are handpicked at the peak of ripeness, ensuring the highest quality and freshness of the fruit. This attention to detail is crucial to obtaining an extra virgin olive oil with a complex and rich aromatic profile.
The cold-pressing process utilizes modern technologies while simultaneously respecting artisanal traditions. This methodology ensures the preservation of all valuable nutrients and the characteristic aromas of the olives, giving the oil a fruity taste and a slightly bitter and spicy note, typical of high-quality extra virgin oils.
After pressing, the oil undergoes a careful natural decantation phase to separate any potential sediments, ensuring impeccable clarity and purity. Subsequently, the oil is refined in stainless steel containers, preserving the freshness and integrity of its organoleptic characteristics.
The final result is an extra virgin olive oil from Montalcino distinguished by its brilliant golden color, enveloping aroma, and rich, harmonious taste. Vasco Sassetti's oil not only represents a high-quality gastronomic product but also pays homage to the art of traditional Tuscan olive cultivation.
