The Oro de Pòe olive grove is located in Pove del Grappa, in a natural basin at the foot of Monte Grappa which is characterised by its mild and breezy climate, therefore relatively low in humidity.
For this reason it is called “Valley of Olives”.
From the century-old plants of the native variety "Frantoio Povese", the olives were collected and selected and pressed in purity to give this extra virgin olive oil, golden green to the sight, intense in aroma, balanced on the palate.

The olive trees are treated by combining ancient traditional methods linked to the cycles of nature, with modern precautions and techniques.
All these characteristics make Oro de Pòe an oil full of personality.
A unique oil, because the conditions in which it comes to life are unique.
At our company, we dedicate great care and respect to the morphology and physiology of our olive trees.

We carry out targeted pruning to encourage "full-canopy arrangement", stimulating the alternation of branch production, an important characteristic of olive trees.
We use organic fertilizers that strictly comply with the national PAN regulations
for the integrated control of olive tree diseases.
We monitor the insects present in the olive grove using biological traps.

The olive grove is completely grassy and the permanent meadow surrounding it is enriched with aromatic essences that give our oil a characteristic fruity/herbaceous scent.
At the beginning of September, we begin to evaluate the ripeness index of the olives based on the different varieties present in our olive grove.
Based on these analyses, we decide the date and areas of the olive grove where to start the harvest, which usually takes place in the second half of October.

The harvest is done manually, with the help of manual facilitators, in full respect of the plants and their fruits.
The olives, thus intact and healthy, are taken to the mill on the same day, in order to reduce the interval between harvesting and pressing to a minimum.
We are committed to preserving the distinctive characteristics of our product.
The milling takes place within a few hours of harvesting at an oil mill that uses a continuous cycle pressing system, in order to best preserve the exceptional organoleptic properties of the olives.

The stability of its characteristics, favored by a high presence of peroxides, and the abundance of polyphenols represent some of the main quality parameters of our extra virgin olive oil.
