The olives in the area surrounding the Umbrian town of Trevi enjoy a habitat that is unparalleled in Italy, for both the land, with its calcareous substratum, and the microclimate in which they grow. Despite the high costs involved, the olives are handpicked right from the tree because it is the best way to assure their perfect condition. These olives come from the Moraiolo, Frantoio and Leccino varieties and are processed no later than 24 hours after harvest to avoid possible fermentation and a rise in the acidity level. The oil is extracted by natural cold-dripping "Sinolea" process, which does not entail any applied pressure, heat or chemical solvents. Following the traditions of the ancient Hypogeum oil mills, the oil is then stored in an underground room in order to preserve its distinct emerald green color and unsurpassed fragrance. A truly genuine product of exceptional quality. The origin of this oil is guaranteed and OLIO TREVI was the first oil in Umbria to obtain the D.O.P. (Protected Denomination of Origin) mark. The code printed on the back of each bottle serves to identify the grower whose olives were used in the making of Olio Trevi DOP.
