Tuscany is one of the Italian regions with a greater vocation for olive growing. The olive oil produced by the Tuscan company Boschi comes from olives harvested by hand from over 20,000 of its own olive groves or from local olive growers. Its unique and high-quality products, flavors of Tuscany and the Maremma area, are created with long-standing traditional values.
What’s more, the company boasts a direct supply chain management. “We take care of our olive oils at every production stage” – says Stefano Boschi, owner of the company. “We have a direct management of the fields, we personally take care of the olive harvest, pressing, storage and bottling. This is what differentiates us from other players in the market.”
