Technical contents<\/h2><\/h3><\/div>The olive groves are between 400 and 550 meters above sea level, in the most inaccessible areas of the PDO Colline Pontine in the municipalities of di Itri and Sonnino, on steep soils of calcareous origin, with a southern, southwestern exposure, towards the Mediterranean.
\nThe 30% slope requires manual management of each processing cycle, from pruning to harvesting.
\nAltitude and exposure favor greater irradiation and a wider difference between minimum and maximum temperatures, conditions that allow the nutraceutical and sensorial properties to be best exploited, giving life to an extra virgin naturally richer in polyphenols and antioxidants, with a sensory profile in able to enhance the characteristics of the cultivar and with higher levels of oleic acid.
\nThe CO2 sequestered by centuries-old olive trees is higher than that generated during all stages of production: from management in the field, to the oil mill up to sale.
\nThe olive groves are managed with conservative agronomic techniques that generate a positive environmental impact (dry, rain irrigation only; grassing; manual harvesting and pruning; two-phase pressing with less water and energy consumption), not only because the company considers it right but also because it is the only possible way to lead terraced olive groves at high altitude.
\nFurthermore, in the olive groves, mini integral reserves have been created in which the growth of Mediterranean scrub is supported in order to support the fauna and floral biodiversity.
\nIn the last 40 years in Italy 1.5 million hectares have been abandoned, 70% in hilly areas, the highest abandonment rates are recorded when the slopes of the land exceed 20%.
\nIn the last 50 years, 80% of the olive groves in the sub-Mediterranean belt of Central Italy have been abandoned. In the province of Latina, between the 1980s and 2010, the areas planted with olive groves decreased by 2,000 hectares.
\nItrana Alta Quota is the name of the project with which Agresti 21902 intends to counter the risk of abandonment of the hilly areas of the Colline Pontine DOP area, and at the same time enhance the nutraceutical properties of extra virgin olive oil produced in the high hills on terraced land , where the steep slopes require manual management of all cultivation practices.
\nWhen abandonment trumps tenacity, it is not only the olive grower who is losing out, on the contrary, often stops incurring unproductive costs. Loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, landscape and hydrogeological damage are some of the effects that abandonment causes on the ecosystem.
\nDamages that become even more significant if terraced lands bordered by dry stone walls are left to their fate, which, without maintenance, end up losing their containment power.
\nYet sloping hilly lands have on average a better agronomic state of health than those in the plains. So why give up? Why not try to reverse course? Simple will is not enough, concrete gestures are needed.
\nThat’s why you should buy high hill extra virgin olive oil grown on terraced land.<\/p>\n
