Da sempre coltivare la terra è la cosa che sappiamo fare meglio: in famiglia ci tramandiamo una vera arte pregna di tutta la conoscenza, la sapienza e la competenza necessarie nella coltivazione delle olive e nella loro spremitura.
A good oil is born in the field: it is essential to respect the phenological phases of the olive tree, every action must be done at the right time; no use of synthetic products is contemplated precisely to ensure that the final residue in the product is equal to 0; it is necessary to respect the correct harvesting times, when the drupe is at its perfect maturation.
An really good oil is produced in an olive mill: it must be crushed within a few hours after the harvesting, to avoid the initiation of oxidative processes; it is necessary to use the most modern extraction techniques, to enhance the characteristics of each cultivar; it is necessary to have an accurate hygiene of the machinery, to obtain a genuine product; finally, there is a need for constant temperature control during the processing to eliminate any flaws.
An excellent oil must be conserved well: therefore the olive oil must be filtered immediately after milling, to eliminate the solid particles and water still in suspension which would lead to a deterioration of the product over time; it must be kept in hermetically sealed steel silos, to eliminate any contact with oxygen which would lead to the oxidation of the product; it must be bottled in dark bottles, to protect it from sunlight; finally, the bottle must be fitted with anti-theft plugs to guarantee the consumer a product free from fraud.
Brothers, children and grandchildren: our stories of land are stories of people. Our work tastes like family, unity, staying together, but has also the added and personal value that each of us can bring. In fact, it has been since generations that the Visconti family cultivated the land and gathered its generous fruit. The company has over 100 hectares of cultivated land ranging from wheat to tomatoes, from vineyards to olive groves. The olive-covered area is represented by over 30 hectares, with a total that exceeds 5000 plants; among these, about 80%, is represented by centuries-old and multi-secular trees. The vast majority consists of Peranzana cultivar trees, native of the territory, while in smaller numbers there are cultivars such as Coratina, Rotondella, Santa Caterina and Leccino. It is essential for the Visconti family to be able to follow every single stage of production: in this way the supply chain becomes short and a “family business”: from plant care, to harvesting fruit, to transport them in the mill and milling, to storage and bottling up, to the labeling. Everything is taken care of personally. This in order to always guarantee the highest quality standards and to make sure that every work is carried out in accordance with best practice.
