Our oil is a small production varying according to the years around 1500 liters. From Corsican varieties (Zinzala, Oliva Nera…) we harvest the olives turning black by combing them manually on the tree which gives our oil both a fruity taste specific to black olive oils and a slight ardence and aromatic richness, due to the harvest on the tree.
Our estate is located in the countryside in the heart of the Ortolo Valley in the Sarten region.
