The Olive groves – Ezio Ghiandai Tenute

The Olive groves / Cultivars

Our trees are distributed along the gentle slope of Scopetone in the province of Arezzo at a height ranging from 300 to 500 metres, providing a variety of aromas and flavours to the olives and vineyards.

The olive grove is made up of Leccino, Moraiolo, and Raggiolo varieties.

They are excellent cultivars from which to obtain an EVO oil with a very balanced taste, suitable for all types of dishes. Specifically, each type of olive tree has the following characteristics:

LECCINO
Early ripening cultivar. The resulting oil is fruity, with a slight bitter and spicy taste.

MORAIOLO
Prefers hilly terrain, has small fruit but high yields. The oil is intensely fruity, with a hint of leaves and elegant, characteristically woody notes. Definitely bitter and spicy. Very high content of polyphenols.

RAGGIOLO
Cultivar that produces a bright green oil with great intensity and olfactory power. Hints of fresh grass, arugula, and artichoke. Complex and harmonious on the tongue, with spicy notes of black pepper and artichoke. Bitter and spicy notes are at a medium-high level.

We cultivate without pesticides and chemical agents

The area is far enough removed from the sea to protect the olives from attacks by the most common parasites, such as the fly. In this way, it is possible to cultivate without pesticides and chemical agents. The lively flavour and balanced aroma of the oil we produce come from a combination of environmental and climatic characteristics, but is also the result of careful processing of the precious raw material: our Tuscan olives.
