Olive oil
Hardly any dish is prepared here without olive oil. Therefore the olive farmers here pay a lot of attention to the quality of the oil. The olives from Tignale traditionally come from 100% organic cultivation. Already the ancient Romans planted olives in this microclimate and extracted oil from them. Still today the fruits are harvested by hand as in the past, but are cold pressed directly in a modern plant without storage. The oil from Tignale has an extremely low acidity. The well-balanced taste and velvety scent of the olive oil is ideal for both fish and meat.
Truffles
In addition to the crisp truffle, Tignale also has the excellent black Périgord truffle, the summer truffle and, with a little luck, the Burgundy truffle. A real experience for gourmets Tignale dedicates the first week of October each year to this event.
