The oil of Pianori Alti, the “evo” of Land of Leukos, Basilicata
WE DO REGENERATIVE AGRICOLTURE
We feed the soil like a living being with earthwork humus, proteinated mineral sulfur and we do the winter and the summer green manure: the first defense from pathogens, the plants must seek it from the ground.
We regularly mow the grass (without herbicides), we let the ground breath by opening the “balena” (italian word that identify the central space of the ground between two rows of plants) two times a year and we facilitate the field biodiversity, with the presence of many cultivar.
BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
We use insecticides of natural origin (neem oil, nettle), non-chemically synthesized antifungals and proteinate substances like foliar fertilizer.
All plants of the company are periodically washed with silicon based product and potassium soap.
TRACEABLE PRODUCTION CHAIN
Due to the company size (4,5 hectares -2 of olive grove and 2,5 of lemon grove, both with the traditional implants) and to only territorial production philosophy, obviously, our production chain is actually traceable.
