Olea Prilis

Extra Virgin Olive Oil - IGP TOSCANO

A premium blend crafted from native Tuscan olive varieties, all hand-picked early in the ripening process and immediately milled in our estate’s olive mill. A Certified Organic robust oil with character, complexity, and a distinctly Tuscan identity.

The "Olea Prilis" brand

Our brand is a tribute to the Etruscan people, the first to cherish this Tuscan Maremma, a wild Mediterranean coastline where a salty lake once existed, known to the ancient Romans as Lacus Prilis. Over centuries, the lakebed has dried, now home to our olive trees. By naming them “OLEA PRILIS,” we pay homage to the region’s fascinating history.

Olives and Milling

Our olives come exclusively from groves located in one of the most pristine and wild areas of Tuscany, the Maremma. Here, sharp temperature fluctuations between day and night, powerful salty winds, intense sunlight, and harsh terrain force the trees to earn every olive they produce. This enables us to cultivate extraordinary fruit to produce a Tuscan oil of great structure with exceptionally high phenolic content.

Organoleptic Characteristics

Bright green in color with absolute clarity. On the nose, it is enveloping and harmonious, offering complex aromas of green almond, artichoke, and aromatic herbs. On the palate, it is highly structured, medium-fruity, and elegant, with pronounced, persistent spiciness and a distinct yet balanced bitterness.
