AL TORCIO
The oil-works ´Al torcio´ is surrounded by a large olive-grove of its own, situated in Novigrad, a town on the western coast of the Istrian peninsula. The variety of cultivar includes the indigenous Istrian Bianchera and the imported types, such as Leccino and Pendolino.
Over a thousand olive trees have been planted in this olive orchard, with the olives picked only by hand in their early stage of ripeness and maturity and with the oil extracted from the fruit by using the most up-to-date cold pressing technique, maintaining the original flavour of the picked fruit.
This method preserves the optimum quality of the olives picked, producing Extra Virgin olive oil with a low acid content between 0.17 – 0.23% of free fatty acids.
