The Grand Cru Colle dell’Eremita is a monocultivar oil of Moraiolo olives, produced during the second ten days of October. This oil finds its roots in the frugal practices of hermit monks, who, driven by faith, chose to retreat to remote and inaccessible places. Despite the presence of the surrounding olive groves, the isolation that characterized these ascetics prevented the extraction of olive oil through traditional mills. To overcome this challenge, they used a mortar carved into stone into which they pressed the olives. This method, although primitive and with a very modest production, produced an oil of exceptional quality, as handed down in local legends.

This oil is characterized by extraordinary intensity, with a fresh bouquet rich in herbaceous notes. However, its strength is balanced by a surprising harmony, with a flavor profile that develops gradually and uniformly, without imbalances or excesses. In short, an oil with a bold but refined character, which can express itself with elegance and complexity even minutes after tasting.
