Buy IGP Olive Oil Toscana online We are looking forward to harvesting our olives this year, allowing us to create IGP Olive Oil Toscana, the certified extra virgin olive oil of Tuscany, however it has been a tough year for our trees along with all who are suffering from the climate change that is affecting us all whether you are a farmer or infact in any industry, here in Maremma Tuscany we had extended periods of heat and very little rain, at one point for over 4 months.

At Tenuta Le Mandoralie our Extra Virgin Olive oil, also known as EVOO is created exclusively from the first, cold press which is performed within 6 to 12 hours of harvesting,  our olives are crushed into an olive pulp using only mechanical force in a water cooled high tech olive oil machine press.

Here at Tenuta Le Mandorlaie we all work hard all year towards a very special event that occurs in autumn, around this time of year, its the Vendemmia. So what is Vendemmia? The word, vendemmia is the Italian word for the grape harvest and Italians consider it historically from the latin word vinum (wine) e demia, (from demere, to take).

With the ever increasing cost of energy and our desire to create clean energy that we control, it was time to design and install a solar power system for Tenuta Le Mandorlaie.

There is never a dull moment in the vineyards and orchards at Tenuta Le Mandorlaie, every month we have vineyard work tasks to achieve in order to assist our plants, to keep them healthy and to hopefully produce a great crop. So what are we working on in April and May Irrigation installation - As our vineyards were planted over 70 years ago, it is important that we help them survive through droughts that we are tending to experience every few years here in Maremma.

As part of our Scansano agriturismo farmstay experience in Maremma, Tuscany we wanted our guests to be able to relax and cool off in a pool, it does after all hit the 40s regularly here in the heat of Tuscan summer so to achieve this we decided it would be a great project to self-build our above ground swimming pool so we started on our wooden swimming pool construction.
