WHO WE ARE

THE OUR HISTORY

Originally called ‘Laurel Wood’, Reto di Montisoni is an old small estate family run.
Situated few kilometres south of Florence in the heart of the green Tuscan hills, it takes its present name from the beautiful Montisoni monastery, which is dated back to the XVII century.

THE ESTATE

The property has 10 hectares of which 6 of olive groves, 4 of woods, and fruit trees, traditionally cultivated using organic feeding only, respecting the natural capacity of plants, to optimise quality in all aspect of agriculture and environment.

OIL MILL


Harvested olives are placed in open crates and within a maximum of 6 hours these are brought from fields to the mill to be pressed.

Most important production phases include that olives are mechanically separated from leaves, washed with cold water and processed through cold extraction method (less than 22° degrees celsius).

To preserve a high concentration of polyèhenols and its specific organoleptic and nutritional characteristics, olive paste centrifugation process takes place without adding water during extraction.

As soon as oil is extracted, it is filtered using absorbent cardboard of pure cellulose and stored in stainless steel containers at a controlled temperature of 14-16° degrees celsius to maintain unchanged its health properties and to ensure a good shelf-life.

IDILLIO

‘IDILLIO’ Extra Virgin Olive Oil is produced from perfectly ripe hand picked olives, coming from the century old olive trees, Moraiolo and Americano (in small part) varieties, owned by Fiani family for four generations.
Cold pressed in a day, olives preserve their fruitiness and healthy organolectic characteristics and allow to produce a richer oil in vitamins (A,D,E), nutritive elements with a very low acidity.

Brilliant green colour with fresh and intensive herb flavours and artichoke taste, slight peppery sensation at the end of the palate with an harmonic light bitter aftertaste.
