The Monumental Olive Grove of Villa Cavalletti is home to over 5,000 centuries-old olive trees and is recognized as a Slow Food Presidium for Centuries-Old Olive Trees. The varieties typical of the region—Pendolino, Leccino, Moraiolo, Rosciola, and Carboncella—find the ideal conditions to express their unique characteristics in the estate’s volcanic soil and distinctive microclimate. Cultivated using certified organic methods, the olive trees are managed with full respect for biodiversity and natural cycles. Harvesting takes place at the onset of veraison, when the olives are still green, and the oil is cold-pressed, ensuring a product rich in polyphenols—which are responsible for the characteristic fruity and pungent aroma, as well as its antioxidant and health-promoting properties. Villa Cavalletti is part of the “Slow Food Olivi Secolari” project, which serves as a symbol of the promotion of both the product and the local area.
