Az. Agr. Ciarletti

is situated in one of the most suitable areas for the production of oil. It is among the hills surrounding the medieval city of Trevi, between Assisi and Spoleto, in the heart of Umbria.
Following the time of the seasons and the experiences handed down from the past, Ardelio and Maria Santa, together with their daughter Simona and their son Gianfranco, prune one by one the seven thousand olive trees grown at an altitude of 500 meters above sea level. What distinguishes the family is, without doubt, the great respect for nature combined with a careful attention both to tradition and the most up to date technologies. A clear example of this are the photovoltaic system to produce clean energy, the modern oil mill to process olives and the recovery of production waste transformed into “nocciolino” to feed the boiler of the family farm.
