IL GELSO produces and sells Extra - Virgin Olive Oil in bottles 750cl.. The oil is from olive trees organically cultivated without any chemical additive or pesticides. The olives are picked up by hand from the trees when they are perfectly ripe and then they are squeezed in a cold press within 48 hours from the harvest time. This respects ancient production methods and guarantees the quality of the olive oil.
Our wines named ELISSA, both I.G.T. (Indicazione Geografica Tipica "Colline Frentane") and D.O.C. (Denominazione di Origine Controllata), result from the vinification of the organic grapes produced in our farm.
In order ot obtain a hight-standard product every year we produce only a limited amount of wines designed to be sold to selected customers both in Italy an abroad.
- the vineyards are South faced and do not receive any treatment with pesticides
