Saturday Note - The "montagnola" nectar- Olive Oil

Saturday Note - The nectar of Montagnola "Suavis Locus Ille"

Olive oil. The golden nectar. 

It is not a simple olive oil, I said my old (my father and my uncle). 

The wine from us there is good, is a table wine enough light in some years it takes two for drinking: one to "hold" and one "drink." In fact even our wine is actually very good even if it can not be classified "Chianti Classico". 

But when it comes to oil is another matter. 

Our olive trees are protected by the forest of oak and chestnut, and live in their ideal middle hill. 

Some, centenarians, of species "Leccino" the most resistant to cold, are survivors from the great frost of 1985 and immediately distinguished from those who are spuntanti and after that, after 25 years are still young plants and seem to "offspring" imberbe although already in production. 

The offspring are usually breeding "crusher" and "Wallcreeper which species are more resistant but less household of Leccino" which is of wild origin. And in fact a technique for making the new home of the olive trees, was found in the forest wild olive trees, planted them and arrange to turn them in grafted plants that produce more domestic fruits, olives. 

Our culture and culture of 'I think it is olive to very high levels, resulting from a thousand-year history. 

Meanwhile, the nature of our forest made mainly of oaks. And the oak is close dell'ulivo. 

The product is the best we can expect. The color is green, with a classic tingling if you tried out a nearly foment Natural and its qualities are exceptional. 

If then smeared on a slice of toast, previously smeared with a little 'of garlic and a drop of vinegar is a delicious food. 

Our old saying that the oil of refined natural mound, our red soil, the relatively high altitude, the alternation of cold morning air and hot-meridian make it a nectar and a "pharmaceutical" natural. 

Perhaps it would be exploited, as a product of value and therefore niche in the world with its own brand.
