Giorgio Veltroni is a veterinary doctor who is very well known and appreciated in Arezzo and its province for his clinics. His dream, however, has always been another one: to produce excellent organic extra virgin olive oil. This passion is not the result of a whim, nor does it come about suddenly, but is rooted in family tradition, among the 7 hectares of olive groves surrounding the splendid Tuscan town of Monte San Savino. Giorgio took me on a tour of his olive groves in his 4x4, and between the jolts and rugged tracks, he introduced me to his olive trees almost one by one, each with its own peculiarity, exposure, size, age, etc. His care is almost obsessive, starting with the fertilization using manure produced on the farm, through to the harvest and pressing of his green gold. He named his oil Attilio out of gratitude to the agronomist Attilio Guastini, a family friend, who in the 1970s convinced the Veltroni family to plant olive trees with a spreading, drooping habit, low-yielding but rustic and free from fungicide treatments.
