Ancient roots, sustainable future: the olive trees of Cerrosughero
In the Canino area, among soft hills of tuff and limestone, where travertine emerges as a reminder of the ancient energy of the earth, our centuries-old olive trees of the Canino cultivar grow, recognized as a Presidium
Slow Food. Their gnarled trunks, sculpted by wind and time, tell silent stories and preserve the soul of this landscape. From these deep roots, since 1999, Cerrosughero DOP Canino Extra Virgin Olive Oil has been produced: an authentic expression of a territory and its history.
Taking care of our olive groves means protecting the land, a precious treasure chest of splendid fruits and unique biodiversity.

Alongside the ancient trees, younger olive groves extend, embracing approximately 25 hectares. Every step follows the rhythm of nature: we cultivate according to the principles of organic farming, with careful and respectful pruning to protect the soil, nourish biodiversity, and preserve the vital balance of the entire ecosystem.

The olive harvest generally begins at the end of September, at the beginning of the veraison, when the fruit
begins to turn from green towards darker shades and reaches its maximum aromatic expression.
The timing varies depending on the cultivar and the degree of ripeness of each variety. The olives are harvested and
transported to the mill on the same day, so that they can be processed immediately and preserved
freshness, integrity and polyphenol content. This allows us to obtain a balanced, rich and
structured, capable of maintaining quality, aromas and nutritional properties over time.
