Azienda Agricola Solari Massimo

In Chiavari, in the province of Genoa, the steep slopes of the Ligurian coast have for centuries imposed their geometry on olive cultivation, and on these rocky terraces, Azienda Agricola Solari Massimo works with Taggiasca, a variety that better than any other encapsulates the Riviera. It is from these olives that the Riviera Ligure DOP extra virgin olive oil is born, with the fruity sweetness and subtle almond notes that the denomination recognizes across its 186 Ligurian municipalities. Production remains tied to a challenging landscape scale, where each plant occupies a terrace carved from the slope, and the yield is the result of manual labor that mechanization has never truly replaced. From this condition derives an oil that carries the character of the coastal strip more than that of the hinterland. Those who wish to understand how such an agricultural organization continues to produce quality can stop at the farm: tastings and visits are open to those who want to see the terraced olive grove up close and taste the oil at its source.
