Olea Hadriani is only available at the estate


It’s wonderful to imagine sampling olive oil from the olive groves of Hadrian. This includes a rare variety of olives called Albero Bello. This rare variety of olive oil is only available on the estate and not to the general public.

The majority of olive trees used for current production are only a few hundred years old. As many as seven different cultivars of olive trees grow on the estate, including one totally unique variety called Albero Bello, or the beautiful tree. Dating to the 13th century, the tree stands 52 feet tall. Last month, the villa produced special olive oil made only from the olives of this nearly thousand-year-old giant.”
