The agricultural company Luigi Ruffo was also named in the Guide to Extravergini by Slow Food Italy 2023 as one of the 40 Italian realities that stand out for the way they interpret productive values (organoleptic, territorial, and environmental).

Grignano EVO Oil 100ml - Luigi Ruffo: How is it produced

This is a monovarietal EVO oil obtained from the cold extraction of Grignano cultivar olives from the Illasi area, in the eastern part of Verona. The processing is done through mechanical processes, that is, without the use of chemical processes or substances, in conditions that do not cause alterations to the oil.

How the calcareous soil affects the yield of the oil

The powerful and balanced taste of the Grignano extra virgin olive oil is given, in addition to the Grignano cultivar, also by an extremely calcareous soil (up to 60-70%) that allows for the production of an oil characterized by very low acidity, a very high level of polyphenols, and strong citrus notes, so much so that it seems like oil coming from the sunny areas of southern Italy.

Azienda Agricola Luigi Ruffo, Veneto

The fruits that the Azienda Agricola Luigi Ruffo uses come from the plots owned by the company and are harvested in the autumn only when the olive meets certain characteristics and is ready to be picked.

The attention given to the care of the plants and the ten days of harvesting ensure that the quality of the oil produced remains stable over the years and that the organoleptic characteristics do not vary. So much so that Luigi, to verify the perfect harvesting time, usually crosses his century-old olive groves on a small caravan and checks the condition of the plants, one by one.
