Finalmente un po’ di freddo: ancora poco ma almeno le temperature notturne sono calate con le minime registrate dalla rete regionale di agrometeorologia (OMRIL Liguria) dalla stazione di Bestagno in quanto una delle più vicine e paragonabili alla zona dell’oliveto dimostrativo insieme a quella di Borgomaro, però già più fresca e umida. Le temperature si […]
The 2022-2023 oil season in the “Oliveto della Riviera Ligure”
We are in our tenth year of running our olive grove, 145 Taggiasca olive trees, in Liguria. During this period, we have not harvested only on one occasion – last year. Data feature in a specific chart, complete with every detail on cultivation operations and the production costs of Riviera Ligure DOP extra virgin olive […]
2019-2020, a success for the Oliveto della Riviera Ligure
“Pettinarli ogni anno” (comb them each year). This old local saying refers to the importance of careful grooming of olive trees to enhance yields. This is what we do in our “Oliveto della Riviera Ligure”(Olive Grove of the Riviera Ligure): 136 healthy plants, 7 years of commitment and testing, 7 years of rather constant harvesting, […]
Spring 2019 in the Riviera Ligure olive grove
After a season of hard work, spring is the time of ritual yearly farming operations. Special care is dedicated to interventions which can help prevent the biennial “high yield/low yield” dichotomy – manuring and pruning once more prove essential for the purpose at hand. Manuring took place in mid-March: humid soil, professional organic-mineral manure, highly […]
Harvesting and pressing: the 2017-2018 season’s oil from the olive groves of the Riviera Ligure
And that makes five. For the fifth consecutive year, we have reaped the fruit of a year’s labour in the olive groves of the Riviera Ligure. From 15 to 17 November 2017, our terracing of Lucinasco with 145 olive trees of the Taggiasca variety was the setting of the process called abbacchiatura [beating down the […]
Work in the Riviera Ligure olive grove has started again: time to prune and shred for natural soil enhancement.
During May, work begins again in the Riviera Ligure olive grove. This year it was decided not to use organic fertilisers but to continue the work of pruning and shredding the residues. Pruning, even though carried out a little late in the year, has been fairly light and aimed at thinning the canopy of the […]
We have bottled our oil. All in all, a difficult job
Our 115.5 litres of oil are kept under a nitrogen seal. We created the new label which contains the nutritional statement as per regulations. It was then necessary to create a new graphic layout and have everything printed. In any case, the highest cost was for processing and treatments, as well as for labour in […]
