The new season of Costa del Pedone’s organic olive oil. “Eccellenza Bio” born in the heart of Tuscia.
There’s a scent that, every year, marks the beginning of something special.
It’s the scent of wet grass at dawn, of wind whispering through the olive trees of Grotte di Castro, and that warm light that only autumn in Tuscia can offer.
It’s the scent of expectation — the kind that builds quietly for months and then bursts into life during the most important moment of the year: the olive harvest.
In these days, the olive groves of Costa del Pedone come alive with voices, gestures, and laughter.
Some stretch the nets under the branches, others check the fruit, others still pick each olive by hand — the same way their grandparents did.
It’s an ancient ritual, repeated for centuries, yet renewed every year like a promise: the promise of an oil that tells the story of its land and a philosophy of life — Eccellenza Bio.
A Harvest That Means More Than a Season
For us, the olive harvest is not just work. It’s balance — between humans and nature, between tradition and innovation.
In our olive grove, every tree has its story. Some are over a hundred years old, silent witnesses to time and to the hands that have cared for them across generations.
The volcanic soil of Lake Bolsena, rich in minerals and low in limestone, gives our oil its unmistakable character: complex, elegant, and deeply rooted in place.
It’s this unique terroir that makes our organic extra virgin olive oil an internationally recognized product — awarded at prestigious competitions such as NYIOOC in New York and the Athena International Olive Oil Competition in Greece.
Each award is more than an achievement — it’s a confirmation that our path is the right one: a journey made of respect, awareness, and true sustainability.
Organic: A Choice, Not a Trend
“Organic” is not a label we wear — it’s a commitment we live by.
For years, Costa del Pedone has embraced organic farming, rejecting pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, respecting biodiversity, and nurturing the natural rhythm of the seasons.
Our olive varieties — Canino, Leccino, and Frantoio — are hand-picked and pressed within just a few hours, preserving their sensory properties and ensuring maximum freshness.
The cold extraction process, performed below 27°C, allows us to obtain an extra virgin olive oil that is intensely fragrant, perfectly balanced, and rich in polyphenols — natural antioxidants that promote cardiovascular health and slow oxidative aging.
It’s a process without shortcuts, one built on patience and precision.
But it’s this dedication — this harmony between knowledge and care — that gives our oil its essence: pure, genuine, alive.
Sustainability at the Heart of Our Philosophy
For us, sustainability is more than environmental responsibility — it’s also social, cultural, and territorial.
It means cultivating the land while protecting its soul.
In Tuscia, our mission is to preserve a unique and fragile landscape — a tapestry of olive groves, volcanic hills, Etruscan ruins, and wide, open horizons.
Sustainability also means culture.
We believe in the dialogue between past and future, between traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation.
We work to share knowledge, to bring younger generations closer to the world of extra virgin olive oil, and to tell — even through digital storytelling — the value of a product born from authenticity and respect.
The 2025 Harvest: Emotion Meets Innovation
This year’s harvest has a special flavor.
Spring rains and a balanced summer have created perfect conditions for a rich crop. The olives are compact and glossy, with excellent oil yield.
Early sensory analyses reveal a vibrant profile: a medium fruitiness with notes of fresh-cut grass, almond, and artichoke, perfectly balanced between bitterness and spice.
Each batch is traced, from grove to bottle, ensuring transparency and certified quality.
Every bottle — with its design — tells a story of land, labor, and time.
The result? An award-winning organic EVOO, capable of capturing both the palate and the imagination, telling the world — drop by drop — the essence of Tuscia.
Olive Oil and Territory: An Unbreakable Bond
To speak of olive oil is to speak of landscape.
The Tuscia region is a living mosaic of nature, art, and memory: ancient Etruscan trails, necropolises carved into tuff, oak forests, and olive groves reflecting on Lake Bolsena.
Here, the land has a voice. You can hear it in the rustle of olive branches, in the quiet rhythm of country roads, in the hum of the mill at sunset.
Producing olive oil in this setting is not merely a craft — it’s an act of love for one’s roots.
For us at Costa del Pedone, every bottle is a declaration of belonging: to our land, our culture, our people.
Eccellenza Bio: Our Way of Being
“Eccellenza Bio” — “Organic Excellence” — is not a slogan.
It’s the heart of who we are.
It means pursuing quality without compromise, with the conviction that true excellence grows from respect — for nature, for those who work beside us, and for those who choose to bring our oil into their homes.
Being recognized internationally is an honor. But our greatest goal is to inspire a lifestyle grounded in authenticity, balance, and well-being — a lifestyle that connects personal health to the health of the planet.
Olive Oil as a Way of Life
Tasting our oil is like taking a journey through Tuscia — across volcanic hills, through the scent of grass and soil, into a landscape where time slows down.
People often say you can taste the difference — and they’re right.
It’s there in the freshness, the clarity, the golden-green sheen that fills the palate with vitality.
But what truly makes an olive oil special is its story.
A story of hands that harvest, eyes that watch the skies, and decisions made with both head and heart.
It’s a story of balance — between science and poetry, sustainability and passion, present and future.
Looking Ahead
The olive oil world is evolving, and we’re evolving with it.
We experiment with regenerative agriculture, monitor soil health, and test systems for grove management.
But we never forget our roots — the land itself.
Because the future of extra virgin olive oil will never depend on technology alone, but on values — and ours remain constant: respect, authenticity, excellence.
A Season of Gratitude
Every harvest teaches humility.
It reminds us that nature has its own rhythms, that balance is fragile, and that beauty must be protected.
So, this year again, we want to say thank you:
To our collaborators, whose dedication makes every drop possible;
To our customers, who trust and support our work;
And to our land — the Tuscia — for giving us a unique and unmistakable identity.
