Olio extravergine d'oliva Tenuta di Saragano The oil of this bottle comes exclusively from our olive-grove, situated in the heart of Umbria at 400 meters of altitudes.

Olives are are hand-picked and get within 24 hours to the cold-squeezing, performed by a traditional oil-mill with millstone. The oil extracted risults biologically pure and it is the one that we usually find on the table of the local farmer. A tradition that honour the simple excellence of an oil raised to the nobility by a careful cultivation that get it rich of vitamin E at high dietetic value and with an acidity lower than 0,5 %.
