Il Gioiello

Il Gioiello di Grassi Elena is a recent agricultural reality dedicated to the cultivation of olives.
For generations (and for over 100 years now) the olive harvest has been an activity that has engaged the whole family, including children, and still today it is an opportunity to share this passion all together.
The disciplinary to which the company complies requires the harvest of olives only in selected olive groves within a particular area of the Lunigiana in the Municipality of Fivizzano, precisely in the meeting basin between the Apuan Alps and the Apennines at a higher altitude at 300 m above sea level and on hilly soils with sub-alkaline PH.
At least 90% of the olive variety is made up of plants of the “Frantoio Antico”, “Moraiolo” and “Leccino” varieties. The olive harvest (starting from the beginning of veraison of the fruit) is carried out directly from the tree, both in rounds through mechanical aids.
The oil-making operations are carried out within 48 hours of harvesting and the extraction of the oil is carried out only with mechanical and physical processes so that the oil maintains the original peculiar characteristics of the fruit as faithfully as possible, at a lower temperature. at 27 °.
The flavor is thus fruity and well balanced, with a maximum acidity of less than 0.3g / 100g of oil.
