Our Organic Evo Oil

Extra virgin olive oil has been a fundamental ingredient in the Mediterranean diet since the origins of agriculture. The Organic EVOO from Tenuta della Sgrilla is produced with the goal of enhancing the healthiest and highest-quality components of extra virgin olive oil, obtaining an oil made from hand-selected olives, organoleptically impeccable.
Primarily composed of monounsaturated fatty acids, EVOO also contains polyphenols, beta-carotene, and vitamins E, D, and K, which have antioxidant properties and a protective effect on our body’s cells. It is precisely the high concentration of these elements that ensures a healthy, genuine extra virgin olive oil of significant importance to our health.

The health of our land is also a primary focus of Tenuta della Sgrillas organic farming approach, adhering to an ethical and eco-sustainable system. We do not use synthetic chemicals and strictly avoid insecticides, fungicides, pesticides, herbicides, and harmful fertilizers.

The Estate

Tenuta della Sgrilla is located in the southern part of the Maremma Toscana, on the hills near Capalbio. This medieval village, suspended between the sea and sky, overlooks the rolling hills below. A splendid land, both wild and gentle, rich in unexpected contrasts and characterized by diverse environments that harmoniously follow one another, creating an extraordinary emotional connection for visitors.

A place that, once visited, is impossible not to return to. This ancient stretch of land is authentic and unspoiled, forming a perfect and rare microcosm where it’s distinctive elements coexist and blend, painting the landscape with color: the crystal-clear blue sea, the green of the olive trees and vineyards spreading over the soft hills, and the deep, intense hues of Mount Amiata. From the Tyrrhenian Sea’s rugged coastline, golden sandy beaches, and hidden coves, a southern wind blows inland, carrying scents of myrtle, broom, and pines. As it moves further inland, the Mediterranean scrub gives way to dense forests of holm oaks and cork oaks, and the rolling hills become blanketed with vineyards and olive groves. Intense aromas and vibrant colors create a magical and poetic landscape, inspiring peace, where everything is gentle, and time seems to stand still, respecting nature’s rhythm. A place with magnetic energy. Here lies Tenuta della Sgrilla.

THE OLIVE GROVES

The lands of Tenuta della Sgrilla span approximately 25 hectares, primarily cultivated with traditional olive groves. With over 2,000 trees, some centuries old, the estate produces about 1000 liters of Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil. This oil is a blend of Moraiolo, Leccino, and Frantoio olives, varieties typical of central Tuscany, carefully selected over time to identify the best genetic characteristics suited to the region's climate and environment. Our olive groves are cultivated with passion and dedication, following the principles of organic farming. Fertilization is carried out using organic products, the soil is left covered with natural grass, and performed during mowing is only performed during periods of intense water competition. Disease control is managed through pruning techniques and natural interventions when necessary. The processing adheres to environmentally friendly agricultural methods, utilizing renewable energy and ensuring that every part of the olive is used in production, eliminating waste. The olives are harvested by hand starting in early October and never beyond November. After being defoliated and stored in crates, they are transported to the mill within 12 hours of harvesting. At the mill, a knife crusher is used, and the resulting paste is transferred to sealed malaxers equipped with a nitrogen system to prevent oxidation and degradation. This process lasts about 20 minutes and is maintained at controlled temperatures, always below 27°C. The complete absence of air contact protects the oil from oxidative phenomena that could compromise its quality and longevity. At the end of the process, the oil is filtered through cellulose filters to remove all impurities and achieve a brilliant clarity.
