Our Olive Oil
Extra
Virgin Olive Oil is another of the traditional products of Fattoria la Ripa
certified "Organic" by Bioagricert.
The
olives are picked before complete maturation directly on the plant thus
guaranteeing a low quantity of saturated fats, the quality and the fruity taste
of oil, yet to the detriment of the yield of production which may be evaluated
normally around 13 kg. oil per 100 kg. olives.
It
is ideal to season the salad, and also beans (particularly the
"cannellini") and chick peas, and for sauces. Also particularly for the classic
“fettunta” (slices of slightly toasted bread with garlic, oil and
salt), the "bruschetta (fettunta with tomatoes on top), the
"ribollita" (old bread soup with black cabage), the "pappa col
pomodoro" (bread and tomato soup) and other typical tuscan dishes.
