Azienda Olivicola Canaiella

On the terraced slopes of the Savona Ponente Riviera, Azienda Olivicola Canaiella organically cultivates the olive groves that yield its extra virgin DOP Riviera Ligure. The variety is Taggiasca, an olive that finds ideal conditions to fully express itself in this part of Liguria, imparting to the oil the sweet and delicately fruity profile characteristic of the denomination, which spans one hundred and eighty-six municipalities. The choice of organic farming is not a superficial detail. By foregoing chemical intervention, the method aims to preserve the integrity of the terroir, allowing the terraced soil and coastal microclimate to define the taste. Careful harvesting and meticulous pressing complete a process where the delicate nature of Taggiasca is respected rather than corrected. The result is an oil leaning towards softness, far from assertive bitter and spicy notes, consistent with the image of an olive-growing Liguria shaped by terraces and patient work on the slopes. Within a single denomination, Canaiella encapsulates the bond between an emblematic cultivar and the vertical geography of the Ponente.
