The Olive Trees: a symbol of life and tradition
The olive trees at Villa Campestri are an integral part of the Tuscan landscape, representing centuries of agricultural tradition. Harvesting the olives, done entirely by hand, is a ritual that respects natural cycles and guarantees the highest quality of the final product.
Harvesting and Oil Production
After being harvested, the olives are transformed into extra virgin olive oil through a cold-pressing process. This method is essential to preserving the oil’s organoleptic and nutritional properties. The result is an oil with unique characteristics, celebrated for its authentic flavor and numerous health benefits.
Benefits for health and skin
Extra virgin olive oil is an endless source of wellness. Here’s why it’s considered both a superfood and a valuable skincare ingredient:
- For the body: Rich in antioxidants and monounsaturated fats, it protects the heart, reduces inflammation, and supports a balanced diet.
- For the skin: Thanks to its moisturizing and nourishing properties, olive oil softens, regenerates, and protects the skin, reducing signs of aging.
