The territory
Few geographical areas in the world can boast an environmental and
natural heritage like the province of Siena. A rural network which has
been masterfully shaped through the centuries by man and dotted with a
dense system of small centres each one preserving important historical
and artistic recollections.
In the area of Siena the olive tree is the main feature in rural economy
and gastronomic tradition. Not only, it also has an extremely important
role in environment, landscape and culture.
There are many different varieties, the predominant being the typical
Tuscan ones (Frantoio, Correggiolo, Moraiolo, Leccino, Pendolino)
together with others of less productive importance. Thanks to these many
varieties the olive oil produced offers an extraordinary range of
flavour and aroma.
