At Casa de Case – All of our olive oils are absolutely genuine 100% Italian. Each producer is personally selected by us. We know each and every one of them, and we visit their estates often. We insure that what they are producing and bottling is entirely genuine.

• The Olivestri frantoio, where the oil is lovingly handcrafted, is amongst the tiniest in Italy, and it is one of the few frantoii in this part or Italy to offer vendita diretta – direct sale. Almost all of the olive production in this region is taken-up by a cooperative that crushes the owner’s olives for their own consumption. Very little of this region’s superb production makes it to the market.
• Guido is ferociously dedicated to quality. He uses only hand picked olives to guard against bruising which can introduce decay to the fruit. He insists that the olives be crushed within 24 hours of being picked. This is what insures that there is no oxidation of the olives, and it is what produces the freshest oil with the highest possible level of polyphenols, the good-health promoting anti-oxidants that reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol. This also delivers an oil high in vitamin E, and give the oil longevity, still tasting fresh for up to two years.
• The oil made by Guido and his family is among the finest olive oil produced in the world. It has justifiably earned a gold medal and reflects their Umbrian/Tuscan border location, deriving its perfect balance from Tuscany’s big, strong tradition and Umbria’s more mellow background.
