The
Agricola Fraschiera farm is situated, in the northern Maremma area of
Tuscany, and from its rolling hills you can see the sea, which is in fact,
only a few kilometres away. Sun, rocks, and silence, a breeze from the
sea and the soil of the Maremma, produce a distinctive unique aromatic
flavour to this Extra Virgin Olive Oil "Fiore di Fraschiera". The main
variety of olives are the classic Tuscan species: Frantoio, Leccino e
Moraiolo. The olives are handpicked directly from the plants, and immediately
afterwards are put into special ventilated containers where they remain
for a maximum of 24 hours before being pressed with the utmost care using
a treatment which is temperature controlled (cold press). The Oil produced
is then bottled without being filtered to avoid the product deprived of
any natural qualities and to remain within the strict regulation set by
the self control system (H.A.C.C.P). Furthermore, the farm only uses organic
fertilizers, which adhere to the C.E.E. 2078/92 law for the drastic reduction
of chemicals for the plants protection. The highest care in cultivation
techniques described above result in the highest quality Extra Virgin
Olive Oil "Fiore di Fraschiera". The intense fruitiness, slightly pungent,
with an aroma of artichoke, walnuts, and hazelnuts, which is typical of
Tuscan Olive Oil, provide an harmonious and fragrant taste. The Extra
Virgin Oil "Fiore di Fraschiera" is for the most part used in a Mediterranean
cooking, renowned for it's light texture. Ideal cooked meats and vegetables
and exceptional with salads an grilled fish.
