AZIENDA AGRICOLA ARNANO, SOCIETA' AGRICOLA, DI BONIZELLA BIAGINI E C.

In Asciano, on the Sienese hills, Azienda Agricola Arnano produces an extra virgin olive oil with the Denominazione di Origine Protetta Terre di Siena, a recognition that encompasses thirty-two municipalities in the region. The farm's sole denomination is also its most precise measure: acidity below 0.5 percent, oleic acid over 72 percent, total polyphenols equal to or greater than 100 ppm. These parameters are not abstract formulas but the chemical translation of a challenging environment. Because behind those numbers lies the pedoclimatic context of Val d'Orcia, with its temperature excursions and poor soils, where the olive grove works at the limit of its possibilities. Arnano interprets this harshness as a resource: the contained yield and the ripening of the drupes become the prerequisite for an oil rich in phenolic compounds. The choice to adhere to a single set of regulations, meticulously respecting its standards, defines the profile of an agricultural company that entrusts its distinctiveness to rigor rather than the breadth of its offering.
