Characteristics
100% organic extra virgin olive oil obtained from the cold pressing of olives of the Geracese variety typical of the Costa dei Gelsomini in the province of Reggio Calabria.
It takes its name from one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, Gerace , in whose countryside it has been cultivated for centuries. Among the oldest cultivars in the world, its genetic profile dates back to Magna Graecia
"Obtained from 70 majestic centuries-old olive trees from which an oil with "delicate" sensory characteristics is obtained. The taste is characterised by a pleasant predominance of sweetness and aroma, although not persistent"
Producing oil from these central trees is not easy because caring for these trees and harvesting their olives is difficult and expensive. Doing so means for us saving and safeguarding the ecosystem and the rural landscape.
Processing
"Cold-pressed, within 12 hours of harvest. Unfiltered, it is decanted in steel barrels in a temperature-controlled environment. Organic product"
Pairings
Its delicate and fruity flavour is suitable for balanced preparations such as fresh cheeses, fish carpaccio and desserts
Organoleptic Profile
- Color: intense golden yellow
- Perfume: offers fruity sensations of delicate intensity, quite persistent, with hints of olive leaf, grass and pleasant sensations of artichoke and tomato
- Taste: on the palate it shows a sweet and enveloping structure. Almond and walnut on the finish
- Bitter and spicy: reduced levels of bitter and spicy
The "digital supply chain" is a model of sustainability
Ours is a digital model that does not only mean getting directly from the producer to the consumer, but a way of doing things that has an impact on our sustainability and on the quality of the products that we manage to bring to your table. You will feel the difference!
Sustainable for the environment
Avoiding remunerating all the intermediate steps of the traditional supply chain (often only commercial) helps to make the price to the consumer more transparent and allows the farm to allocate the right resources to practice sustainable agriculture.
Social and cultural sustainability
The digital supply chain has a concrete impact on the territory, not only economically! It means being able to provide work for (logistics, social media, marketing, etc.), but also having links with institutions, associations, people to whom we turn to communicate our model with educational, social or pure entertainment activities ( see HERE ).
Sustainability for the farm
Skipping the intermediate steps also means having direct contact with the customer trying to explain what the value of your product is, which being 100% organic sometimes is not perfect on the outside but it is on the inside. This also helps to minimize waste (i.e. the non-perfect products that the GDO would throw away)
Sustainability for the consumer
It allows access to quality products at the right price, with greater guarantees. The customer "looks in the face" directly those who have sweated to produce and those who put in the effort every day to produce have every interest in having a satisfied customer. All this is now impossible in the "impersonal" model of the GDO
FRESH, SEASONAL AND TASTY
Short supply chain is synonymous with freshness and quality that can be perceived between a fruit that arrives at your home within 48 hours of harvesting ripened in the sun of the Riviera dei Gelsomini instead of the 5/7 days of a fruit harvested a little later in ripening to last longer than the traditional supply chain
Fresh and perfectly ripe products
Our products are picked fresh and above all naturally ripened in the sun of the Riviera dei Gelsomini: you will taste the flavour!
Seasonal Fruits and Typical Local Varieties
We have decided to recover old varieties that have now been commercially abandoned in favor of standardized ones that are more suitable for large-scale retail trade processing, often to the detriment of the taste and quality of the products.
