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.
