Description Image GEOGRAPHIC AND CULTURAL ORIGIN

Produced in the green heart of Umbria, Terre Francescane’s Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil reflects the region’s deep agricultural roots and commitment to natural cultivation. The olives are grown without the use of synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, in accordance with organic farming standards certified by CCPB. This method preserves the surrounding ecosystem and enhances the purity of the final product.

TECHNIQUE AND ARTISANAL CRAFTSMANSHIP

This multivarietal extra virgin olive oil is the result of a careful selection of organically grown olives, cold-extracted within hours of harvest. Each batch is meticulously monitored to ensure compliance with strict organic regulations and to preserve the integrity of aromas, nutrients, and antioxidants. The artisanal approach combines tradition with sustainability, resulting in a clean, balanced oil of exceptional quality.

ORGANOLEPTIC AND NUTRITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS

Well-rounded and harmonious, this organic oil offers medium fruitiness with soft vegetal notes and a delicate bitterness and pungency — making it incredibly versatile in the kitchen. Its rich content of polyphenols and absence of chemical residues ensure not only flavor but also functional health benefits. Certified organic means guaranteed authenticity and respect for both the consumer and the land.

CULINARY USE

Perfect for enhancing everyday dishes with a natural, pure flavor: try it raw on fresh salads, grilled vegetables, gourmet focaccia, pizza, or pasta. Its balance makes it ideal as a finishing oil, where its clean taste can shine through without overpowering other ingredients.
Producers Image PRODUCERS

For over 400 years, Terre Francescane has cultivated olives on the rugged hills of Umbria.
Founded in 1639, as evidenced by a carved stone in the original olive mill, the Gradassi family has passed down its olive-growing tradition for generations.
Extra virgin olive oil is not just a product — it’s a way of life: its green hue colors our days, its aroma greets our mornings, and its flavor defines our table.

Today, Terre Francescane stands as a symbol of heritage, excellence, and artisanal devotion.
It supplies Michelin-starred restaurants and renowned chefs such as Carlo Cracco, Antonino Cannavacciuolo, and Jason Atherton, and features in niche markets such as Peck, Eataly, and international duty-free stores.

TERRITORY

Umbria, known as the Green Heart of Italy, is a region of ancient cities, castles, and deeply rooted culinary traditions.
Its cuisine is known for being simple yet refined, often influenced by monastic cooking methods such as baking on hot stones, open-fire roasting, and lake fish smoking.
With ingredients like black truffle and golden-green olive oil, Umbrian food offers an experience of sensory richness and historical depth.

Although Umbria represents only 2.5% of Italy’s total olive oil production, its oils consistently win national and international awards. It is also one of the few regions where the entire olive-growing area is classified PDO — a mark of guaranteed origin, method, and excellence.
Sustainability Image Unlike industrial-scale producers in countries like Spain, Italy — and especially Umbria — maintains a traditional, sustainable cultivation model that uses fewer chemicals and respects the land.
Italy also boasts the world’s richest olive biodiversity, with over 500 olive cultivars, contributing to a wide spectrum of flavors and textures.
Terre Francescane embodies this philosophy, combining heritage and sustainability through short supply chains, clean energy, and social responsibility.

The company generates 70% of its energy in-house from renewable sources, and since 2021, it has supported the Il Serafico di Assisi charity, a commitment that further expresses its respect for people, place, and purpose.
