To find an organic olive oil Umbria you need to be careful and, above all, you need to interface with the territory to discover which companies have the most experience. In the case of the Giordano Fortunati farm, which has always been present in Campello sul Clitunno, a stone’s throw from Spoleto, it can be said that the certification has been active since 2002 and the same certification has also been confirmed for 2021 for the production of organic oil from Campello sul Clitunno.

What is the difference between cold-pressed oil and other processes?

Cold extraction in organic olive oil Umbria is the main production technique because it maintains as much as possible the organoleptic properties of a special fruit and makes them available in our final product.

The taste of our oil is linked to the production area, where there are both trees and mills. The area is the olive belt zone and here the mills produce an oil that is relative to a niche production. Practically all production in the small mills in the area is carried out in this way, the best way to create a quality product. The choice of product quality is also combined with a type of sustainable cultivation, which, not being intensive, does not “stress” the soil.

What is the difference between organic and DOP?

With organic production we can see that the methods adopted for production are “in order” with some aspects mainly linked to the type of cultivation, the soil, the elements used as fertilizers, a series of “bio-chemical elements”. The production of DOP oil instead identifies the production area and, specifically, our oil is produced in Campello sul Clitunno.

Which area of ​​Umbria is involved in DOP production?

Our production area is linked to the territory of the ASSISI – SPOLETO Olive Belt, an area also recognized by the FAO as “FAO Agricultural Heritage Systems of Global Importance”. A great achievement to make the product recognized worldwide.

How many trees are present on the farm’s plots?

Within the various collection plots of the farm we can count over 7000 olive trees. All the plants are exclusively of the MORAIOLO variety and are all located in the Assisi Spoleto olive grove area.

How much oil is produced?

Every year, depending on the season, the rains and the weather, in general, we can harvest a certain amount of olives that leads us to create about 1100-1300 liters of annual production of organic olive oil from Umbria.

We can therefore say that to produce 1 litre of oil we need the fruits of, on average, around 7 plants. 7 plants that need to be checked weekly and that bring their fruits to maturity in a variable period of about 8 weeks.
