The mill at Le Amantine
The mill at Le Amantine
One of the most crucial aspects of oil production is milling, and very often farmers must use industrial mills that can leave remnants of low quality olives to mix with other, higher quality varieties. When I took over Le Amantine, I wanted to make sure that we would control all of the steps in the system so that every drop of oil would be the absolute pinnacle of quality. So we built our own. If you’ve ever visited the farm you’ll know that the mill is a particular point of pride. As enthusiasts know, to obtain an optimal oil one must start with healthy fruit which is then defoliated and washed. The olives then pass through our 2-phase extraction plant with vertical malaxers, guided by the crusher, who must be calm, competent and passionately dedicated to quality. While the technology is state of the art, it always depends on a human touch.
Throughout the milling process, man and machine work together with a single goal: to bring out the best in the fruit. As anyone who has tasted our oil knows, we work on the sincere desire to craft a product of great value. Low temperature control, immediate cellulose filtration, stainless steel storage and in house bottling guarantee the highest quality oil within a closed and completely traceable environment.
Selection N.1
LUI is a medium-light green fruity extra virgin olive oil made exclusively from the Frantoio variety. Its aroma is fine and elegant with bold vegetal notes of fresh olives and wild herbs, among which rosemary and arugula stand out. Its taste is fine and harmonic. Bitterness and pungency are very balanced to bring out perfect elegant notes of white pepper. It would be ideal with salads, fish or on fresh cheese. A few drops can elevate a warm chocolate dessert. LUI is dedicated to my father Mario. For him, the well-being of the trees was the most important thing in making extra virgin olive oil.

NOI will be perfect with a simple dish of pasta, shaving of parmesan cheese and abundant black pepper. Some drops will sublimate a good grilled slice of bread. This EVOO represents the passion that I share with my family and friends. Extra virgin oil is our common heritage.
