The company

The Azienda Agricola Passo della Palomba is also dedicated to the cultivation of olive trees, which have been present on the property for many years. The Gilotti family cannot be defined as a farming family, although Alessandro's grandfather was a farmer on a large estate in the Viterbo area. However, they have a great passion for everything related to agriculture, and for many years now, with competence and seriousness, they have personally supervised all the production phases, from cultivation to pruning, from harvesting to milling and packaging of the extra virgin oils produced with a lot of work and passion to preserve intact the perfumes and aromas and above all the nutraceutical properties of this incredible product.


FROM HARVEST TO MILL
Productive process

On the estate consisting of about fifteen hectares of olive groves, there are about 5000 olive trees. There are Moraiolo, Leccino, Frantoio, San Felice, Dolce Agogia, Don Carlo and Pendolino. Five monovarietal oils are produced from these olive groves: Moraiolo, Frantoio, Leccino, Dolce Agogia and Don Carlo, and two blends: Olistico and Olistico G.C. Harvested early and manually starting in the first week of October, milled within a few hours in the company's two-stage mill, the oil is rich in heady aromas and an intense green colour. We are sure that you will share our passion for these oils that are unmatched because they are made in line with the best tradition. Time is of the essence in producing oils of exceptional quality. The olives must be harvested early when the aromas are still alive. The yield of an early pressing is obviously much lower but the quality obtained is infinitely superior. Rich in beneficial antioxidant substances: polyphenols, tocopherols, plant sterols. The crates must be filled to a maximum height of thirty centimetres to prevent the weight of the olives themselves from crushing those lower down and starting a fermentation process that certainly deteriorates the quality of the oil produced. The olives arrive at the company mill within a few hours and are immediately pressed. The company's two-stage, continuous-cycle mill is ultra-modern to ensure a hygienic and uncontaminated pressing that preserves all the antioxidant components beneficial to health.The oil is immediately filtered and stored under nitrogen and then bottled in dark bottles with a nitrogen cap to prevent oxygen and light from altering its organoleptic qualities. This is the process that Passo della Palomba oil scrupulously follows.
