We are truly proud to announce an exceptional achievement for La Cavallina: three of our extra virgin olive oils have been included in Slow Food’s prestigious Extra Virgin Olive Oil Guide 2025! And that’s not all: one of them is also a Slow Food Presidium, testifying to our commitment to the protection of biodiversity and high quality production linked to the territory.
An award that celebrates our dedication to quality, territory and olive-growing traditions.
The oils that won over the palate of the Slow Food experts are:
- Arancino Presidio Slow Food: This is our flagship! An oil obtained from 100 % Arancino olives, it has not only been recognised by the guide, but is also a Slow Food Presidium, a seal certifying its excellence and its origin from a cultivar and a production method that protect biodiversity and the landscape. Described in the guide as ‘vegetal, balsamic, broad and lively nose, expressive in the mouth and of interesting persistence’. It represents the result of a recovery of a cultivar that had almost disappeared: L’Arancino
- Leccino: Oil obtained from 100 % Leccino olives . Appreciated in the guide with the following notes “Herbaceous, artichoke stalk, nut . Pleasant on the nose and palate with almond and pink pepper to finish.”
- Villa Laertia: Multivarietal oil obtained from Frantoio, Leccino, Moraiolo and Arancino olives. Appreciated in the guide with the following notes: “Of lively aromatic complexity. Bitter herbs, rocket, white apple, thyme. Fluidity and persistence’.
This important inclusion in the Slow Food Guide, and in particular the recognition as Slow Food Presidium for one of our oils, is not only an award for La Cavallina, but a confirmation of our philosophy: to produce oils that tell the story of our land, oils that are born from passion and respect for nature. Each drop encapsulates the careful work of our hands, the care of the olive groves and the rigorous selection of the olives.
The Slow Food Extra Virgin Olive Oil Guide is an authoritative reference point for lovers of quality oil, a veritable compendium of the best Italian productions. Being counted among the protagonists of this guide means seeing our constant commitment to the pursuit of excellence recognised, and the Slow Food Presidium underlines the inestimable value of our agricultural heritage.
We invite everyone to discover our award-winning oils, especially our Slow Food Presidium, and be seduced by their unique aromas and flavours. They are ideal to enhance every dish, from the simplest to the most refined cuisine.
A heartfelt thank you to Slow Food for this prestigious award and to all of you, our customers and friends, who choose us every day and motivate us to do better and better. Keep following us to discover our next novelties!
