Fattoria Mosè is unique in that sense that it is the only farm in that part of Italy with such old Olive trees, most of them are between 200 and 600 years old. It means lower yields and longer hand harvest times. They pick early to preserve the fruit flavour and do not use bruised olives fallen on the floor. The olives then go to the mill to be mashed up. After natural sedimentation, it is not released for a period of 4 months to allow the flavours to settle. The oil is bottled to order to preserve freshness and is a 50/50 blend of the current vintage and the year before vintage, to keep the acidity lower.
