Mille - Extra virgin olive oil from wild wild olive

The quality of our Mille oil is given to us by nature. But we refine it in the oil mill, thanks to our incessant research work. By combining study and experience, we have in fact created an innovative system that allows you to set, and therefore manage, every single process of the production plant based on a (secret) "recipe" personalized by cultivar, origin and state of ripeness. Thus we can standardize and enhance the organoleptic properties of each olive variety, drawing only the best from each and thus creating our special blends.

The wild, uncultivated olive tree is defined as olivastro. It often has the appearance of a shrub although older specimens can reach enormous dimensions. The olives are very small and the leaves are more dull than sharp. These plants grow spontaneously in all areas where the olive tree is present. In Sicily it is often found on the banks of streams and streams.

The trunk of this tree is often very twisted and may have cavities. The bark is grey, very smooth when the plant is young. The branches are many and often, especially in young olive trees, rich in thorns. The leaves have a sage green type color

Mille extra virgin olive oil from wild wild olive has a high content of monounsaturated fats which makes it beneficial and protective for health. Furthermore, Mille has a higher content of sterols, tocopherols (vitamin E), carotenoids and polyphenols compared to other oils. It is precisely for this reason that its flavor is much more bitter and spicy. These substances have been widely studied by the scientific community for their antioxidant capacity.
