THE COMPANY

I am Maurizio Cartocci, born and raised in the hills of Valdichiana Aretina in Tuscany, Italy, about 400 metres above sea level.

For those who are not familiar with this area, I would like to describe what I see from my window every morning, like a photograph.

Expanses of cultivated countryside, sunflowers and vineyards, a wisp of wind among the olive trees, once my Grandfather’s, now my home: Azienda Agricola Ca’ de Cartocci.

THE PLANTS

One thousand. One thousand olive trees in the native Tuscan varieties: Moraiolo, Frantoio and Leccino.

One thousand. Yet our gaze always stops on one element: that proud olive tree, father of all the others, the only one to have survived the famous frost of ’85, and which today signs our labels with the drawing of an artist friend.

SMALL PRODUCTION MADE IN ITALY

• Undergoing organic conversion under specific control body
• Italian niche product: small production, only 1500-1600 lt of oil each year

TASTE AND HEATH

Herbaceous and olive scents, hints of almond and fresh vegetables: on the palate the bitterness is mild and the spiciness medium, while the vegetable sensations are confirmed.

Extra virgin olive oil is also a valuable nutraceutical component due to its numerous health-promoting properties. The antioxidant properties of the polyphenols contained in the oil, particularly holoacanthol, make it the subject of numerous studies as an anti-cancer food.
