Our Cultivars

Tradition, territory and quality

The olive groves of Azienda Agricola Belfiori on the hills of Monte Romano, in the Tuscia near Viterbo, between 50 and 370 metres: south-facing land where the Leccino, Frantoio, Canino and Maurino cultivars of our organic extra virgin olive oil grow
The territory

Our olive groves

The olive trees from which we take our raw material, cultivars of the highest quality, are located within the municipality of Monte Romano on south-facing hills, at altitudes between 50 and 370 metres above sea level, with an exceptional microclimate that is always mild, breezy and low in humidity.

The olives are harvested from October, when the fruit is still green. This early harvest guarantees an oil rich in polyphenols, with very low acidity, an intense and fruity aroma and an excellent structure on the palate.

The method

The harvest

Leccino, Frantoio, Canino and Maurino are our carefully selected varieties, grown with traditional methods in the Monte Romano area. Each cultivar contributes its own unique character to the aromatic and organoleptic profile of our organic extra virgin oil.

The harvest is done straight from the tree in the early morning hours, when the polyphenol content is at its peak. The olives are processed within a few hours to preserve all their nutritional and aromatic properties intact.
