The producer
The Azienda Agricola Il Casellino, whose production is certified entirely organic by ICEA (Istituto per la Certificazione Etica e Ambientale), is located in the locality of Torri, about two kilometres west of Rignano sull’Arno, at an elevation of 350 metres above sea level.
Its lands, which were originally under the Abbey of Santa Maria Vallombrosa, have been devoted to vineyards and olive groves since 1586.
Il Casellino covers 38 hectares, 16 dedicated to organic olive growing.
Besides producing top quality organic extra virgin olive oil, the farm devotes itself to the rediscovery of ancient productions of fruit and the recovery of threatened breeds, like the Valdarno black chicken – the historic symbol of Classic Chianti – now considered virtually extinct.
