HISTORY
of olive and oil
Ermelindo and Letizia
The oil is part of us, of our family history now 4 generations. Started by grandfather Ermelindo and his wife Letizia in 1925. Ermelindo and Letizia loved their land and the fruits that they could already give.
The olive groves were part of the Tuscan landscape, with their turned trunks, old.
Leafy trees under which you ate lunch in summer with the whole family, plants that accompanied the holidays and gave one of the most important fruits for the nutrition of the time: olives.
Already at the time consumed in various ways and, above all, used to obtain oil: 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 mastery so that every year the plants could return to give their fruits.
Since then, thanks to the passion for cultivation, harvesting and production passed on from one generation to another, Bottaccio looks at the development of a modern organic olive growing, in the sign of the continuity of an activity that respects the territory and the quality of the Tuscan peasant traditions
