La Sovana DOP
Extra-virgin Olive Oil:
liquid gold...
The path of excellence
La Sovana extra-virgin olive oil owes its quality to the responsible way in which the whole production process is managed. This starts with the attention paid to growing the trees, pruning them every year and choosing precisely the right stage of ripening for picking the olives. The olives are harvested by hand and crushed mechanically by means of a cold process on the same day of picking at our own olive-press. All this guarantees an excellent quality oil with an unmistakable flavour.
La Sovana DOP Extra-virgin Olive Oil
Obtained from olives of the leccino, moraiolo, coreggiolo and frantoio cultivars, La Sovana extra-virgin olive oil has been granted DOP certification by the Consortium for safeguarding DOP extra-virgin olive oil from the Terre di Siena area. The olives are hand-picked before they are completely ripe, which gives La Sovana oil low acidity and a delicately spicy aftertaste, bearing witness to the significant quantities of antioxidants and polyphenols it contains.
Natural enhancement of the flavour.
La Sovana extra-virgin olive oil has a balanced and harmonious flavour and a lively and fruity aroma, and retains a delicately bitter note. An essential component of any diet, it enhances the taste of food when used as a condiment without heating, but distinguishes itself equally well for frying thanks to the high temperature at which it starts to smoke. It is low in saturated fats and high in monounsaturated fats which have a beneficial cholesterol-lowering and antioxidant effect..
The Sovana Farm
Nestling in the green hills near Siena at the centre of the precious Etruscan area and surrounded by vineyards and century-old olive trees, the Sovana farm has taken up the ancient tradition of this countryside devoted to excellence, letting you rediscover the taste of perfect harmony between nature and man.
Accommodation
Our refurbished suites preserve the atmosphere of the past, the genuine warmth of 19th century farms in the Tuscan countryside,providing also a cosy family environment.
