Olives harvested from our own trees, highest quality and pure enjoyment.
A delicate, well-balanced blend of fruity, bitter, and spicy notes.
In our cold-pressed olive oil, you’ll find three olive varieties grown by us:
The Bosana with its wonderful aroma, spicy flavour and characteristic hint of artichoke, the Semidana and the Manna with their more delicate flavors that bring harmony and balance to the blend.
Our olive oil is rich in antioxidants such as vitamin E and secondary plant compounds like polyphenols.
The regular assumption of olive oil helps to supply the immune system with these substances and to strengthen it. In addition its high concentration of unsaturated fats is important to maintain blood cholesterol levels normal.
Harvesting of the olives takes place between the middle of November and the beginning of December, as the individual varieties reach full ripeness, and the fruit is “cold-pressed” on the same day it is harvested. The extraction method operated by local oil mill in Seneghe permits that the natural concentration of polyphenol is conserved intact. The oil extracted, having been obtained exclusively from the fruit and not the kernels, maintains almost entirely the compositional properties of the olives.
Afterwards the oil is subject to a refining phase during which the severe control of the temperature is fundamental.
In February, the oil is filled into glass bottles of 0,5 litres and 0,75 litres, with a limited quantity also available in 5-liter cans. A limited quantity is on sale in 5 litre cans. On request we also fill bottles of 0,25 litres.
The oldest olive groves go back more than three centuries. The varieties present in the groves are the traditional ones of central and western Sardinia: Manna, Bosana, Semidana.
The farming business “Gian Luigi Salaris” carries forward a family tradition which has been passed down for at least five generations. In the 90’s a new grove of exclusively traditional Sardinian cultivar was planted out, always taking care to maintain, and often restore, the environmental aspect of the traditional olive groves of Montiferru.
In 2009, within the antique, carefully restored farm complex, a new air-conditioned laboratory, designed for the conservation and bottling of the product under optimum conditions, was inaugurated. The property is spread out over approx. 7,5 hectares, situated within a radius of about two kilometres of the built-up area of Seneghe.
The oil can only be purchased directly from the producer.
For private customers only. Delivery is only available to Germany, Austria, and Italy.
