Our oil

Welcome to the section dedicated to one of Il Rifugio dei Vescovi’s most precious treasures: our extra virgin olive oil. More than just a simple dressing, our oil represents the very essence of tradition and the authentic flavours of Umbria, a land rich in history, breathtaking landscapes, and ancient agricultural roots.

The art of production

Our oil is produced within our estate in Massa Martana, among green hills and ancient olive groves that tell stories of generations. The olive trees are cultivated using organic methods, and our oil is the result of an artisanal process, respectful of the environment and local traditions.


The olives are hand-picked to ensure that only the finest fruit is selected. Immediately after harvesting, the olives are taken to the mill and pressed using traditional methods, an essential process to preserve all the organoleptic qualities that distinguish Umbrian Oil. This method allows the precious aromas and health benefits of every single drop to remain intact.

The sensory profile

Our extra virgin olive oil is characterised by its elegant and well-balanced flavour. On the nose, it releases fragrant notes of freshly cut grass and green almond, while the palate is enveloped by a fruity taste with a delicate balance between bitterness and spiciness. It is an oil that enhances every dish, perfect to accompany our bruschetta, truffle first courses, or even to dress a freshly served slice of grilled meat.

Tradition at the table

Every drop of oil tells the story of our deep connection with Umbrian culinary culture. At our agritourism, we invite you to discover the authentic taste of oil produced with love. Don’t miss the chance to enjoy it in our culinary creations, such as the classic bruschette served at lunch or dinner, alongside our other organic, locally sourced products. Its unique qualities make it an indispensable ingredient for dishes like wild boar pappardelle or lamb gnocchi, capable of bringing to life the genuine flavours of a cuisine rooted in tradition, family, and togetherness.
