Lucca, Italy — DOP Certified
Two thousand litres.
One family.
Cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil from the groves of our family estate, Palazzo Bove. Early harvest olives, 0.10% Acidity, and high in polyphenols.
The estate
Bove olive oil comes from the careful care of trees we tend ourselves.
Every tree at Castello Palazzo Bove is pruned, harvested and pressed by the same family that has looked after this land for generations. Nothing is outsourced, nothing is blended in.
DOP — Denominazione di Origine Protetta — is a promise about place. Every stage, from grove to bottle, happens within the designated region of Lucca, and is verified by an independent authority. It cannot be claimed. It has to be earned.
Fact check
Most olive oil is not olive oil.
Estimates suggest up to four in five bottles sold worldwide as “extra virgin” are not.
In India, close to all olive oil on shelves is adulterated — cut with refined oils or chemicals.
Blending, refining or additives in a Bove bottle. One grove, one press, one season.
A short guide
How to tell real olive oil from the rest
-
01
Look for the seal
PDO — Protected Designation of Origin — means growing, pressing and bottling all happened in the same certified region.
-
02
Distrust the price
Real extra virgin is slow and expensive to make. If a bottle seems too cheap to be true, it is.
-
03
Find the family
Authentic producers name their estate and their people. If nobody signs the bottle, ask why.
Our guarantee
Our oil carries a Protected Designation of Origin — a guarantee that every stage of production, processing and preparation took place inside the designated region of Lucca.
