About Us
In 2008 the “Podere Il Poggino” Farm has been restored thanks to the care and love of Agostino and Ingrid who have devoted much energy and resources to creating a splendid olive grove.
We produce organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, DOP Terre di Siena certified, in Tuscany, the most beautiful region of Italy, with the help of Tuscan friends who are very respectful of the territory and who have an innate sense of beauty and good taste.
“Trees are the earth's endless effort to speak to the listening heaven” These words of Tagore inspire us in our efforts to ensure that our trees remain not only productive but also beautiful and harmonious with the Tuscan countryside.
"Podere Il Poggino" Farm is the fruit of great love, involvement and sharing.

Our Olive Grove
The Poggino olive grove extends over an area of about 2 hectares. Our 528 olive trees are grown respecting nature.
The soil where the olive grove is rooted consists principally of sand from the ancient Pliocene sea.
It’s common to find ancient skeletons, mollusks and crustaceans here.

Our Oil
The beauty of our olive oil resides in its simplicity, which nonetheless conceals both the art and care which have resulted in its creation. The principal ingredients, apparently contradictory in their co-existence, are the results of both dexterity and modern technology.
