Their favourable position together with the mild local climate and the harvesting techniques have given La Maliosa oils the highest quality in terms of Typicality, Authenticity and low acidity. The farm’s oils are all extra vergin, certified organic and vegan. They have been selected as best Italian oils by the prestigious Assam and Slow Food guides and have won several international awards.
