Olive Oil
Our history
Located in the countryside of San Bartolomeo, in an oasis of unspoiled nature in the Orvieto hills, Il Cenobio forestry farm produces an excellent organic extra virgin olive oil through a careful selection of approximately 3000 olive trees, including the Moraiolo, Frantoio, Leccino, Pendolino, Palombino and Canino varieties.
Our olive trees are cultivated at a low density (260 plants per hectare), without the use of any chemical treatments. Instead, we rely on organic nutrients from mulching and a continuous and careful research for the perfect balance between nature and human cultivation, by combining traditional knowledge with modern methods.
Production
Il Cenobio organic extra virgin olive oil is obtained from the careful harvesting of olives at the most favourable time and in a staggered way, from the middle of October to early November, with the aim of producing an oil with the highest quality. The olive trees are pruned according to tradition, so that fruiting always takes place on young and vigorous wood.
The olives are milled immediately after harvesting using a strictly cold-pressing method to capture all the freshness and intensity for a full and strong flavour.
The beneficial properties of our oil also come from the continuous production cycle of our private oil mill and for the exclusive use of the company which, in every stage of production, from pressing to bottling, prevents oxidation and external contamination.
Finally, to preserve all its renowned and precious nutrients and antioxidants, the oil is stored in a perfectly dark, temperature-controlled chamber (maintained between 15 and 17 degrees), in stainless steel containers, until it is bottled after receiving an order.

The countryside of San Bartolomeo, where Il Cenobio forestry farm is situated, is an oasis of unspoiled nature located in the Orvieto hills, far from the city and populated by various animals, including badgers, hedgehogs, porcupines, deer and wild boars. On summer evenings, the landscape is “illuminated” by the magical glow of fireflies.
Located far from urban areas, between gentle grassy slopes and bright skies, the hills of Orvieto, thanks to their morphological characteristics and the particular nature of the soil, mostly stony and sandy, rich in silt and limestone, deposited by the sea in prehistoric times, impart distinctive organoleptic qualities to our oil, making it truly exceptional.
