oliveCEPT® unit heading for Corsica
We’re happy to deliver oliveCEPT® to Moulin Oltremonti – a top quality olive oil producer based in Linguizzetta, Corsica, France.
Italy offers olive oil of the highest quality – Tuscany is the home to many of them.
The Tuscan soil, the climate, such as the amount of sunshine and rain, as well as the type of tree are all factors that are just perfect for the Tuscan olive oil producers to achieve extra virgin olive oil of the highest quality.
As the world’s second largest olive oil exporter, Italy can proudly showcase a long tradition of olive oil production. For many centuries, Italy has produced olive oil. Tuscany, one of the most favorable regions for olive trees, also has a long tradition of harvesting olives and producing olive oil.
Already during Etruscan times, Italian olive oil was considered sacred – for religious reasons, but also because of its great value. The olive tree was imported to Italy more than 5000 years ago. Soon after, the Romans started to produce and export large amounts of olive oil.
At that time, extra virgin olive oil was mainly used as food, medicin and body balm.
Tuscan first-quality oil plays also an important role in the famous Mediterranean diet, which is considered to be one of the most healthy ones. Due to the favorable weather in Tuscany, the four main varities can be found here: Frantoio, Moraiolio, Leccino and Pendolino.
Tuscany is one of the most awarded olive oil-producing regions at the 2021 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition.
In addition to other high-quality olive oil producers from Italy, OptiCept can now proudly call a Tuscan “frantoio” their customer, as an oliveCEPT® model THOR will be installed during harvest season 2022 at one of the world’s leading producers.
