TUSCANY EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL - IL BOTTACCIO

A PASSION FOR THE FRUIT OF THE LAND.

Oil has been part of us, of our family history for 4 generations now. Started by grandfather Ermelindo and his wife Letizia in 1925. Ermelindo and Letizia loved their land and the fruits it could already produce at the time.

The olive groves were part of the Tuscan landscape, with their turned trunks, years old.

Leafy trees under which we dined in summer with the whole family, plants that accompanied the holidays and which produced one of the most important fruits for the diet of the time: olives.

Already at the time they were consumed in the most varied ways and, above all, used to obtain oil: a fundamental element for cooking and seasoning all the typical dishes of the so-called Mediterranean cuisine.

Ancient olive groves to be cared for, to be pruned with skill so that every year the plants can bear fruit again.

From then to today, thanks to the passion for cultivation, harvesting and production handed down from one generation to the next, Bottaccio looks to the development of modern organic olive growing, in the sign of the continuity of an activity that respects the territory and the quality of Tuscan peasant traditions.

Eco-sustainability

Nature is our partner. Respect and protection of the environment have always been our fundamental prerogative. We have eliminated all forms of synthetic and non-recyclable materials in all our locations, products and production phases. We use eco-compatible packaging materials, only paper and cardboard, aluminum caps, glass and aluminum bottles, recycled wooden pallets, recycled paper and biodegradable labels. In the offices we only have furniture made of wood, iron, steel and glass, we also use clean, green energy from renewable energy.
