The year at the Oppio Novo Farm in Monticchiello begins with dedication and a long-term vision. With the arrival of the first months of the year, our good intentions immediately translate into concrete actions: we renew our connection with the land, focusing on increasingly sustainable management and the pursuit of qualitative excellence.
During this period, our work shifts to the olive groves for pruning, an agricultural ritual that requires technical expertise and a deep knowledge of the land. For us, this is not a simple maintenance intervention, but the first act of care for the tree and the environment.
Conscious pruning for organic farming.
In organic farming, pruning plays a strategic role. Pruning with precision respects the physiology of the olive tree, avoiding unnecessary stress and promoting harmonious growth:
Light and air: opening the canopy allows air to pass through, the most effective method for naturally preventing disease without resorting to synthetic chemicals.
Balance: each cut is aimed at regenerating the plant and balancing fruit production, preserving the vitality of the olive trees over time.
From the care of the plant to the excellence of the oil.
The effort we put into pruning our trees today is directly proportional to the quality of our future harvest. A respected and well-managed olive tree produces healthy olives rich in the organoleptic properties that make our oil unique.
The oil that Oppio Novo sells is the end result of this meticulous supply chain: it begins with winter work among the branches and continues with the autumn harvest, ensuring an authentic product, a faithful reflection of the Monticchiello terroir. It’s a commitment to quality that we uphold with dedication, knowing that the quality of our oil originates right here, in the hands of those who know how to listen to nature.
