Made only from hand-picked, estate grown 100% Italian olives. First cold press. We do not chemically treat our olives. Pressed & bottle at peak flavor for low acidity naturally. Lucini originates in the hillside estates of central Italy 300-500 meters above sea level. Here the olive trees date back over 100 years and the soil and microclimate conditions are ideal for growing the best olives. What makes Lucini taste so good? Extra virgin is a chemical term that does not assure quality or taste. Any olive oil meeting a chemical requirement of less than 0.8% acidity can be labeled extra virgin. To assure quality and taste, we handpicked it precisely the right time and press our olives within 24 hrs of harvest.
