Il Bottaccio

The olive oil has been part of us, of the history of our family for 4 generations now. Started by grandfather Ermelindo and his wife Letizia in 1925. Ermelindo and Letizia loved their land and the fruits it could already give at that time. The olive groves were part of the Tuscan landscape, with their old turned trunks. Leafy trees under which the whole family dined in the summer, plants that accompanied the holidays and that gave one of the most important fruits for the nourishment of the time: olives. Already at that time consumed in various ways and, above all, used to obtain oil: a fundamental element for cooking and seasoning all the typical dishes of the so-called Mediterranean cuisine. Ancient olive groves are to be cared for, to be pruned skilfully so that every year the plants can bear their fruit.

Since then, thanks to the passion for cultivation, harvesting and production handed down from one generation to the next, Bottaccio looks to the development of a modern organic olive growing, in the sign of the continuity of an activity that respects the territory and the quality of Tuscan peasant traditions
