FARM
The Farm "Agricola Locci" is the result of the teachings and stubbornness of the Locci family and can boast in fact a long family tradition of extra virgin olive oil that has been handed down for generations. Agricola Locci is located on a typical Umbrian hilly land and is located between the most beautiful medieval villages of central Italy: Montefalco, Bevagna and Giano dell'Umbria. The surrounding landscape is very suggestive and has different shades with the succession of the seasons: the dark green of the woods on the sides of the surrounding Apennines alternates with the green and silvery reflections of the leaves of the many olive trees that grow in this area: a pleasure for the eyes and the mind.
Agricola Locci was founded in 2016 on the initiative of Lorenzo, who together with his grandparents began to take care of about 500 olive trees. With the fixed goal of the best achievable quality, Lorenzo puts all himself at the service of the company and acquires a specific training that has allowed him to develop an EVO oil with unique organoleptic characteristics and able to compete nationally and internationally for its outstanding quality. In a short time Agricola Locci has a huge success, so much so that to meet an ever increasing demand Lorenzo proceeds, over a few years, to the planting of new generations of olive trees, that, together with the secular olive trees already present on the land, have contributed to the achievement of about 8000 plants that ensure an abundant production of the prestigious Extra Virgin Olive Oil DOP UMBRIA Colli Martani, the company’s flagship product. One of the many points in favor of Agricola Locci, a factor that contributes to the achievement of a higher quality EVO oil is the time factor: In fact, all the olives harvested are processed directly in the company’s latest-generation mill in a continuous cycle and strictly cold pressed, as per regulation on EVO olive oil. In this way the olives do not have to stand for a long time, as can normally happen in other realities. A fast extraction retains all the aromas and scents of a freshly picked olive.
In addition to the main activity of EVO olive oil production Agricola Locci has dedicated part of its land to the cultivation of cereals and wheat. One more pearl of the company is the vineyard that provides excellent grapes for the production of prestigious local wines, including the renowned Sagrantino di Montefalco.
