Inserrata Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Organic EVO and IGP Tuscany Explained

Extra virgin olive oil is more than a simple ingredient. It is a living agricultural product, shaped by the harvest, the olive varieties, the land and the choices made in the mill. At Inserrata, in the hills of San Miniato, Tuscany, we produce organic extra virgin olive oil from our own olives, offered in two expressions: Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil IGP Tuscany.

The origin of Inserrata olive oil

Everything begins with our olive groves, cultivated according to certified organic farming practices. We work in harmony with nature, respecting the trees and the land, to produce an olive oil that is authentic, expressive and deeply connected to its territory.

Our olive oil is obtained from a blend of traditional Italian cultivars including Frantoiano, Leccino, Moraiolo, Pendolino, Mignola and Coratina. Each variety contributes differently to aroma, bitterness, spiciness and overall balance.

Organic EVO vs IGP Tuscany: what is the difference?

  • Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil: fresh, vibrant and direct. Ideal for daily cooking and lovers of green, expressive oils.
