We create
in harmony with nature
Il Poderone is a 300+ year old walled estate surrounded by 7 hectares of olive groves. It’s a farm where we’ve found a place not only to grow olive oil, but also to make art.
Our olive trees are more than 50 years old. We watch them closely throughout the year. During spring time we trim them to get rid of old branches. We don’t use any chemicals and pesticides, as our cultivation is biological.
Harvesting
We care about quality at every stage of the harvest. Our olive oil is made up to 12 hours after harvesting which translates into its unique flavor.
The harvest begins in early October. The olives are harvested by hand, then we select them and take them to a local pressing plant where they are cold-pressed at 27 degrees.
We use special rakes with which to pull the branches for harvesting. The olives fall onto nets spread under the trees, then go into crates. The next step is to clean the harvest of leaves and twigs so that the fruits themselves go to the pressing plant.
We prepare each bottle personally, record the batch and the day it was bottled.

Olive oil
We produce two types of certified biological unfiltered olive oil:
Verde
It comes from the harvest of the first week of October. Its green color and characteristic pungency attest to its high polyphenol content. It is often called green gold because of its many beneficial
properties.
Regolare
Another olive oil is made from the harvest from mid-October until mid-December. It has a less intense color than “verde”, as the harvested olives are already more mature. The characteristic spiciness is milder, but still noticeable.
