Rivellino organic extra virgin olive oil is produced through a well-controlled process, where quality is always more important than quantity. The Canino variety olives, harvested in an early ripening phase, are taken to the mill every day and subjected to a cold extraction system within a few hours.

The extra virgin olive oil thus obtained is then carefully preserved in stainless steel tanks under a nitrogen atmosphere to keep its characteristics intact and bottled immediately before sale.

Canino is an ancient variety typical of the Lazio and Tuscan Maremma.

The flavor of the resulting oil is very balanced and pleasant, with its characteristic fruitiness with hints of artichoke, green almond and fresh herbs, sweet at the beginning, and pleasantly spicy at the end, due to the presence of polyphenols which have important properties antioxidants, hypoglycemics and hypocholesterolemics.

The olives are harvested early when they still contain a high percentage of chlorophyll which gives our oil a particular emerald green colour. This gradually turns into a more golden hue over time. At the time of milling the acidity of the oil is 0.1-0.3 g/l, well below the required limit. A further advantage of using var olives. Canine is the long shelf life of its oil.
