Extra Virgin “Sant’Andrea Riviera Ligure DOP Organic 750 ml – exclusively from Taggiasca olives grown by our agricultural company.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Riviera Ligure DOP – Riviera dei Fiori
Organic – Italian oil – 100% Taggiasca olives – cold extracted
The Extra Virgin “Sant’Andrea” Olive Oil is a product of our agricultural company of the same name. It is obtained exclusively from Taggiasca olives grown in our olive groves and is certified organic since we use only organic farming practices.
Our trees are fertilized at the end of winter using only organic fertilizers, and protected from olive fruit flies with the aid of pheromone traps and kaolin, without using pesticides. Our olive groves are also left to naturally grass over and mowed at the end of spring (herbicides are banned from our lands) and we avoid tilling the land in order to keep the natural biome unaltered.
The olives are harvested from the end of October until mid-December, collected in plastic crates and then transported immediately to our oil mill.
As explained in the section dedicated to our Mill (click here to view), we use a water-cooled crusher (to avoid overheating the paste during pressing), temperature-controlled kneading and a two-phase extraction (to leave as much of the olive polyphenols as possible in the oil).
The resulting oil is delicate, but nevertheless, full of flavour. It is ideal for seasoning the more refined dishes and in particular, fish Carpaccio, steamed shellfish, bresaola with rocket and parmesan, and fresh pasta together with Parmigiano Reggiano. It is also perfect for drizzling over fresh salads and grilled vegetables.
Each bottle is hand-wrapped in coloured aluminium foil providing complete light protection: this measure – together with the higher content of polyphenols – allows the oil to maintain its original aromas over time.

Uses
All our Taggiasca olive oils have a fragrant aroma, a delicate taste and are ideal for those who do not like intense flavours.
Storage instructions
Extra virgin olive oil must be stored away from direct sources of light since light greatly accelerates the natural phenomenon of oxidation. In this case, the wrapped bottle ensures complete protection against light for a better preservation of the sensory characteristics of the product.
Prolonged exposure to heat also has a negative effect on the oil, even if less damaging than light. We advise you, therefore, to store this product in a cool place away from heat sources.
If you have stocked up on this product and want to keep it in the best possible condition, store the bottles closed at a temperature close to 15 °C, if possible (in the cellar or garage, for example).
