The extra virgin olive oil Colline Salernitane Dop is one of the excellent products Casa Iuorio’s pantry.

Tasting it you can appreciate the distinctive notes: the colour from green to straw yellow, the strong taste, the acidity that should not exceed the 0,7%. It is an oil of superior quality, obtained in a large area, dedicated since very long time to the cultivation of olive trees. Walking through the in land areas, the vital presence of the olive groves is noticeable, also of fundamental importance for the stability of the soil.

The Dop certification – Protected Designation of Origin, is an extra guarantee for the consumer, since the companies belonging to the Consortium must observe a precise production specification.

Most studies traced the cultivation of olive trees to the ancient settlers of Magna Graecia. With Romans this cultivation spread even more, to become a characteristic element of the landscape of the province of Salerno. Today the Colline Salernitane Dop is produced in more than 80 villages, from Vallo di Diano to the Amalfi Coast.

Casa Iuorio’s oil is obtained from different olives varieties. They are harvested by hand and pressed within 24 hours, transported to the mill in special perforated chests. They are cold-pressed, at a temperature that doesn’t exceed 27 degrees, so we keep intact the organoleptic qualities of the olives and consequently the benefits of the oil. The acidity analysed this year in our oil is 0.3%. The olive juice extracted is the most faithful expression of goodness that the lands of Salerno are able to offer.

Try it! It will be an unforgettable experience for your taste buds.
