THE PRODUCT
The story of Casa di Terra began long before wine.
Our roots lie in the agricultural traditions of the Frollani family, who have cultivated this land with passion, dedication and respect for the territory since the 1950s.
A connection passed down through generations that continues to represent the heart of our estate today.
Casa di Terra IGP Toscana Extra Virgin Olive Oil is an expression of this history: a product deeply rooted in the gastronomic culture of our region and the pleasure of gathering around a table.
The Protected Geographical Indication (IGP) certification highlights the connection with the Tuscan territory and guarantees compliance with specific production standards.
An olive oil created to complement the authentic flavours of our cuisine, from the simplest preparations to traditional regional dishes.
Because at Casa di Terra, our connection to the land is expressed not only through wine, but also through everything we bring to the table.
