Single Origin
From Olive Trees grown in a Microclimate
Elixir Vitae’s Tuscan Premium EEVO is produced from olive trees growing in a microclimate at an elevation of 450 meter on the rocky soils
environmental conditions creating natural stress for the trees contribute to olive oil with a more complex, unique profile and higher antioxidant content
Elixir Vitae’s Tuscan Premium EEVO comes from autochthonous plants, mainly of the Moraiolo variety, one of the cultivars yielding the highest amount of polyphenols
Varietals composition of our EEVO :
70% Moraiolo
25% Frantoio
5% Pendolino, Maurino and Leccino
Moraiolo and Frantoio Cultivars
Small batch production ensuring care of the olives
Unlike large productions, our olives are harvested by hand in small batches. This ensures that the olives are carefully handled in small containers, avoiding damage and are milled within less than 24 hours
Harvested & cold pressed with traditional methods

Chemistry In Perspective
By law extra virgin olive oil needs to have an acidity of 0.8% or less, and perodixe oxygen per kg of oil of less than 20, above this level olive oil can not be labeled as “extra” virgin. Chianti Classico DOP a geographic region where the famous wine is produced has more stringent criteria. Typically though the highest quality EVOOs comfortably beat these minimum thresholds. Elixir Vitae’s Tuscan Premium is clearly in this elite group.
