SIDORO Extra Virgin Olive Oil

SIDORO The agricultural company was founded by Alessandro Continelli, who continues his family's three-generation olive growing tradition, carried out with passion and dedication, taking care of over 2500 olive trees owned by the family.
Our family's mission is to care for the olive groves with the experience passed down from our parents and to produce healthy and genuine oil, in line with the culture and tradition of the best cold-extracted Umbrian oil.
Located in the hills of Torre del Colle, a small hamlet in the municipality of Bevagna, in the green heart of Umbria and situated over 400 meters above sea level, it is the optimal territory for the traditional cultivation of olive trees.
Respect for and protection of the territory, the reduction of pollution, good food, and the need to guarantee natural and high-quality products were the fundamental reasons for embracing organic farming practices. Today, many operations in the production process are still carried out by hand with the utmost attention to preserve the quality of our organic EVO oil and to maintain the unchanged landscape characterized by ancient trees.
Our Extra Virgin Olive Oil, among the best in Umbria, is the result of constant work to obtain an oil of excellent quality from the Moraiolo, Frantoio, Leccino, and Favolosa cultivars. SIDORO, a Slow Food presidium for Secular Olive Trees, is published in the guide "Secular Olive Trees of the Province of Perugia" for its fantastic examples of Moraiolo: a typical variety of Umbria and central Italy.
