Awards won by Villa Stabbia's Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Slow Food Presidia
So so proud - An honourable recognition of our olive oil – Villa Stabbia and our Extra Virgin olive oil has been included in the Italian Slow Food Presidia.
At the moment, the presidium comprises 26 producers, but many more can potentially join if they follow the set criteria outlined by the Italian Slow Food Presidia.

To participate in the program, olive farms must grow local, indigenous cultivars and they have to manage their groves without the use of synthetic fertilizers or herbicides (only products with low environmental impact and no residual in the final product are allowed). Good agronomic practices to avoid erosion and landslides are requested in the case of slopes or terraced fields and at least 80 percent of the trees must be at least 100 years of age. Finally, “producers must use a narrative label to sufficiently recount and promote their stories, territory and work.”
