Our olive oil
The extra virgin of Podere Il Ritorno
A piece of Elba to take home: the product we are proudest of, available only here on the estate.
When we bought the estate there were about two hundred abandoned olive trees. In the first years we cared for them one by one with a major restoration pruning, to bring the grove back into production.
From about 100 litres in the first year we reached over 400 litres in the latest harvest. In 2025 we planted another two hundred young trees: today the grove counts about four hundred.
It is a small production that we keep here on the farm for our guests: to let them taste it, and for those who want to take home a piece of our land and its flavours at the end of their holiday.
1Hand-picked
Only our family and friends, no machines: we lay out the nets, bring the olives down with small rakes and then clean them.
2At the mill within 48 hours
The olives reach the mill within 48 hours of picking at most: the secret of an oil of the highest quality.
3Cold-extracted and filtered
Mechanical cold extraction, then filtering and bottling: this way the oil keeps its properties for over 18 months.
Proven by analysis
The mill's analysis showed very low acidity of just 0.1% and a high polyphenol content, along with other excellent properties.
The cultivars
Not a single variety, but a blend of the classic Tuscan cultivars:
- Moraiolo
- Leccino
- Leccio del Corno
- Frantoio
The harvest
