While other parts of Tuscany have developed industries that have done much the economy but little for the landscape, the area of the "Crete Senesi" and the neighboring Val d'Orcia have largely remained true to their early agricultural vocation. Today this means local products of outstanding quality, made with traditional methods and skills that are handed down from father to son.

The best-known of these are doubtless Montalcino's distinguished Brunello red wine and the Vino Nobile of Montepulciano, both of which accompany to perfection dishes based on the game that is so abundandt in the area: pheasant, quail, hare, wild boar... not to mention the trouffles and wild mushrooms.
Likewise, the Pecorino cheeses made with ewe's milk from the Pienza pastures are now in demand among gourmets at home and abroad.

More recently, discerning palates have come to take a particular interest in the exceptionally fine olive oil pressed from olives grown on the hillsides between Lucignano, Montisi, Trequanda and Castelmuzio, where the quality of the soil, the dry air and light breeze ensure that no chemical treatments are required to obtain an optimal crop of fruit.
The "Azienda Lucignanello Bandini" is rightly proud of the award-winning cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil obtained from olives grown on the family property at Lucignano d'Asso.

Frantoio or Correggiolo, Leccino, Moraiolo and Pendolino are the olives produced by the olive-grove of Lucignano d’Asso. Our extra virgin olive oil come from those qualities of olives.
During all working stages we wanted to respect the tradition to safeguard each natural qualities of the product.

The oil is made from olives produced on our Estate. The traditional hand harvesting (brucatura), milling with stone muller, cold-press and cold-centrifuge will preserve integrally its caracteristic flavour. It has not been filtered and therefore will always appear cloudy. Dark deposits may form a few months after bottling due to gradual settling of small olive particles in the oil.
It is advisable to keep the bottle on a vertical position, in a place fresh and dark.
