Quality
ilBottaccio has as its first objective the production of only high quality extra virgin olive oil.
In order to achieve this goal, at the various stages of production (cultivation, fertilization, pruning, harvesting, pressing, storage, bottling and packaging), we carry out a careful monitoring, so that the extra virgin olive oil maintains its characteristic characteristics throughout the whole process.
Irrigation systems in olive groves, annual pruning of the plants, manual or semi-manual harvesting of olives, crushing times not exceeding 8 hours from harvest and cold pressing are some of the fundamental points necessary to guarantee a high quality oil.
The interventions related to the different productive moments are spread throughout the year so that from spring to winter we take care of the plants to favor their birth, growth and harvest.

Organic Farming
ilBottaccio, in order to obtain an excellent oil both for the particular cultivation techniques and for the taste and organoleptic characteristics, follows the rules of organic farming.
The aim is to produce healthy and high quality food, absolutely free of chemical and synthetic substances, but also to protect the environment, maintain soil fertility and save energy.
Therefore, no chemical products (fertilizers, pesticides) are used but only organic fertilizers and a specific and strict production regulation is followed (EU regulations).
The organic oil obtained from it contributes to a healthy diet free of pesticide residues, respects the natural cycle of the olive tree, contributes to the natural restoration of the ecosystem, and all is subject to continuous controls by certification bodies.
