Extra virgin olive oil has been a hallmark of Badia a Coltibuono for decades, with the estate’s first bottling dating back to 1962. From the historic Podere Albereto, one of the oldest holdings, olives are carefully harvested and pressed within just four hours—twice daily—to capture their freshness and character. The result is a limited-production oil of exceptional quality, a true reflection of the estate’s heritage, attention to detail, and passion for excellence.
