Tour de France Edition
The 2024 label of Olio Grullo is dedicated to the Tour de France, the most famous cycling race in the world. Legend has it that 120 years ago a group of enthusiasts organized a special “trip” on two wheels, pedaling from mill to mill to taste new oils: this was called the “Tour della Frangitura”. This year’s edition started in Florence, with a stop at the Frantoio dell’Olio Grullo, where many runners filled their water bottles with tuscan olive oil
AWARDS AND RECOGNITIONS
DENOMINATION
Organic Tuscan PGI Olive Oil Hills of Florence
HARVEST PERIOD
The olives are harvested at the beginning of veraison, when the accumulation of polyphenolic substances is at its highest level; the different cultivars were harvested between October and November following the specific ripening period of each varietal.
HARVEST METHOD
The olives are hand-picked from the smallest plants, while modern shakers are used for the more vigorous plants.
EXTRACTION METHOD
All the selected olives are pressed, within a few hours of harvesting, in the modern company mill, using a cold extraction system in a controlled atmosphere. Each phase is meticulous: the speed and pressing technology are regulated for each cultivar and for each batch; the extraction temperatures (24°C) are constant and controlled. The extra virgin olive oil is filtered immediately after extraction. This combination of technologies aims to maintain the organoleptic properties unaltered for a high-quality oil rich in beneficial substances.
