In 1600 the Conte Pianciani planted a new olive grove covering and area of 90 hectares. The olive grove, still in production, consists of approximately 25,000 plants most of which are the Moraiolo variety. Because of the mountainous terrain, the climate, the fact that the olives are picked by hand and that the oil is cold, stone pressed, the olive oil produced is of exceptionally high quality.

It has the all the characteristics required by DOP umbra (D.O.P. stands for Denominazione d'Origine Protetta). The certification is guaranteed by the European Union and was created to promote the authenticity and artisan characteristics of certain food and agricultural products. Umbria is one of 20 D.O.P. areas in Italy for olive oil. The D.O.P. symbol is strictly controlled to insure a special, identifiable character of the region: the mix and percentage of olive types is tightly controlled (Moraiolo must make up at least 15%, Frantoio and Leccino combined must not exceed 65%), colour, aroma, acidity and more are all controlled to insure the highest possible quality).
