PIERO E VALENTINO VEGLIO

The Veglio family is considered one of Piedmont's olive oil pioneers. They produce excellent extra virgin olive oil from their three hectares of land, home to a thousand trees of the Leccino, Maurino, Grignan, and Carboncella varieties. The trees were propagated by cuttings in 1997, originating from a centuries-old olive tree on the Sacro Monte di Crea. In addition to their historic Evento olive oil, they also offer Robur extra virgin olive oil, a blend created in the 2008-09 olive oil campaign with the entry into production of new varieties; and Origini, a single-variety blend from the Frantoio cultivar. Also worth trying is their olive paste (Leccino variety), preserved in brine.
