Oliveto Castello, with its 58,000 m² of land planted with olive trees, is an oasis of peace and beauty—a place where time seems to stand still. Since 2009, we have tended to every tree with passion to offer you a unique extra virgin olive oil, the fruit of an extraordinary region. Our trees form a green mosaic that stretches as far as the eye can see, offering a spectacular view of Monviso and the Alps. We have chosen to cultivate the Frantoio, Leccino, Pendolino, Bianchera, and Ascolana varieties, each with its own unique characteristics. By growing each variety in separate areas, we are able to produce single-variety extra virgin olive oils, preserving the integrity of each oil and offering an authentic taste experience.
“Armonia” is a precious blend of oils made exclusively from our olives grown in Piedmont. The oil has an intense green-gold color. On the nose, it has a light fruitiness; on the palate, it is rich in delicate aromas of fresh grass, artichoke, hay, aromatic herbs, and even thistle. These aromatic notes blend into a smooth flavor, in which the bitterness and spiciness are clearly perceptible on the palate. Thanks to its light flavor, this extra virgin olive oil is ideal as a dressing for dishes with delicate flavors. It can be used both raw and in cooking and pairs well with many dishes. It is also excellent paired with chocolate, as well as for preparing desserts, sorbets, and ice cream. Creating “Armonia” is a complex process that requires balancing and carefully measuring the flavors and unique characteristics of our Leccino, Bianchera, Pendolino, Brisighella, Frantoio, Leccio del Corno, and Moraiolo olive varieties.
This single-variety extra virgin olive oil, extracted from the Leccio del Corno variety, has a greenish-yellow color; it is clear and fairly dense. On the palate, it immediately reveals a bitter and powerful flavor of freshly pressed olives, walnut husks, and vegetal notes. A well-structured oil, very rich in polyphenols, savory, mineral, and persistent. Distinct vegetal notes of green hay and alfalfa, green beans, with warm and peppery undertones. Ideal for pairing with complex meat or fish dishes. It enhances Piedmontese raw meats served on their own. It is also excellent when drizzled over whole-grain rice, bringing out its most primal flavors. It was identified in 1929 in San Casciano in Val di Pesa (FI) by Prof. Morettini at the Corno farm, hence its name. This made it possible to revive a highly productive variety that is very resistant to low temperatures and has a very consistent yield, yet was at high risk of extinction. Single-variety olive oils represent the ultimate expression of the distinctive character of the region where they are produced and, moreover, bring out the characteristics of each individual cultivar.
The monocultivar extra virgin olive oil extracted from the Bianchera variety has an intense green color, with pronounced bitter and spicy notes and a pleasant lingering finish. On the palate, there are hints of bitter almond and artichoke, with a distinct fruity finish. The aroma evokes medicinal herbs such as thyme and borage, with strong notes of unripe olives. It is ideal for pairing with dishes made from select ingredients. Meat, fish, and soups are enhanced by the Bianchera. Its name likely derives from the fact that the fruit’s color change (veraison) is late and gradual, and almost never complete even at advanced stages of ripeness. This variety has high cold tolerance (down to 7°–8° below zero). The oil’s quality is excellent thanks to its abundant polyphenol content. Single-variety oils represent the ultimate expression of the distinctive character of the region where they are produced and, moreover, bring out the characteristics of each individual cultivar.
In our olive groves, biodiversity is a treasure to be protected. We have created natural hedges with thuja, cherry laurel, boxwood, and firethorn, which serve as natural barriers against the wind and pests, helping to create a rich and diverse ecosystem. Each plant plays a fundamental role in maintaining the natural balance, providing an ideal habitat for pollinating insects and small animals that help preserve natural biodiversity. We cultivate our olives with respect for the environment, knowing that the health of our soil is the foundation for a high-quality product. Technology and Sustainability in the Service of Nature Our highly efficient, remotely controlled irrigation system allows us to optimize water use and constantly monitor environmental parameters. Rainwater collection tanks and an integrated storage system ensure a constant and sustainable water supply.
On a 63,000 m² plot, facing south to ensure maximum sunlight, we grow our olives using modern and sustainable farming techniques. Since 2009, we have selected the varieties best suited to this specific region: Frantoio, Leccino, Pendolino, Bianchera, and Brisighella. Cultivating each variety in its own designated area allows us to produce single-variety extra virgin olive oils, preserving the integrity of each oil and offering an authentic taste experience.

86,000 square meters dedicated to excellence: in the heart of our land, we brought a dream to life—to create an olive grove that would be not just a crop, but a true ecosystem. In 2010, we planted the first olive trees, carefully selecting the varieties best suited to our region. We chose to cultivate the Frantoio, Leccino, Pendolino, Leccio del Corno, Moraiolo, Ascolana, Bianchera, and Brisighella varieties, each with its own unique characteristics.
