Precise planning & research are as essential for a plantation of olives as for any other long-term commercial project involving the investment of time & money.

The prime objective of a commercial olive plantation is to produce an edible, saleable product. A well-planned, workable link is necessary between that product & the many diverse aspects which lead to its production.

From the top down
Our approach to the production of Premium (extra virgin) olive oil of quality & regional/varietal character involves working downward from ...

• the end product
• its market
• its marketing
• its storage & packing
• the extraction method
• the harvesting method
• agricultural maintenance
• choice of machinery
• planting options
• grove design
• irrigation requirements
• site & soil preparation
• appropriate cultivars &, finally
• the most appropriate site
  

Each is inextricably linked in a chain that ensures greater commercial viability & agricultural efficiency.

We are available to develop a comprehensive, co-ordinated strategic production plan under contract, or work within a casual agreement for the development of specific parts, depending on the stage of the particular project.

The Tuscan model
Our agricultural model is broadly founded on the olive cultural traditions of Tuscany, a region of excellence for characteristic-flavoured Premium (extra virgin) olive oil of quality.

But it is not limited by it. Our team of technicians & specialists applies the best of traditional practice, which has always put the flavour & the quality of the product foremost, & blends it with the latest agricultural techniques evolving from major academic & industry institutions.
