2 Bottles of Extra Virgin Olive Oil Monocultivar from Piantone Di Mogliano

Description

The Piantone di Mogliano is a tree of limited vigor with an upright habit and a small but dense canopy. The fruit is distinctive, slightly bulbous, medium to large in size, and lemon-shaped with a protuberance on the side opposite the stem. The oil from Piantone di Mogliano is lightly fruity with aromas of freshly cut green grass and hints of almond and tomato. Very balanced in bitterness and spiciness, it pairs well with delicate foods such as fish, white meats, and salads.

The oil made in Marche: an Italian excellence in the world and, here in Mogliano, we have a natural talent for producing extra virgin olive oil, an instinct that comes from the past. Just like then, we follow strict rules: the olives must come from our territory, the Marche; be harvested directly from the tree at the beginning of ripening, to ensure the best organoleptic characteristics of the produced oil; be promptly delivered to the mill, to preserve maximum freshness and wholesomeness; be milled within the next 12 hours, to guarantee very low acidity levels and absence of taste defects.

History of Piantone di Mogliano

During the Roman Empire, Mogliano was part of the Piceni territory, which, due to its abundance of olive trees, was the main supplier of oil to the city of Rome. In a library in Mogliano, in an old manuscript from 1789 titled “Treatise on the cultivation of olive trees”, the Mogliano historian Giuseppe Carnili discusses the significant presence of the “Piantone di Mogliano” variety in our territory. The “Piantone di Mogliano” trees discreetly cover the hills throughout the province of Macerata, reaching even the most inland areas at altitudes above 600 meters above sea level.
