About 500 trees line the grove around La Segreta. We grow three classic qualities of olives: Leccino, Moraiolo and Frantoio—the types you’ll find in every Umbrian’s back (and front) yard. We watch them closely and hand-pick early. Pressed within 24 hours of harvest, our extra virgin is the very best of Umbrian olio di oliva. This year’s crop is delicious: a concentrated, fruity olive oil with the famous Umbrian peppery kick at the finish.
The start of the olive harvest is always a closely watched and carefully chosen day. We are usually one of the very first farms on press for the season and we are proud of it! Those day’s olives are quickly run to the mill to press the precious green gold oil. Nothing beats it. Last year our first olio was poured into special tins of 500 ml and packed into our Agri Segretum wooden gift boxes. We have just a few in Boston ready to ship. Click “First Day” if you’d like one for yourself. Shipping is USPS 2nd Day $13.50 for 1 -2 boxes.
