OLIVE OIL
Born from the cultivation of Olivastra Seggianese, a fine cultivar, Seggiano DOP Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the product that most of all makes Seggiano a famous area. The quality of this olive oil is unique. It is marked by the presence of maximum total acidity not exceeding 0.5% and a high degree of preservation.
The Consorzio Olio Seggiano DOP (visit the website), was created for his protection.
