of this olive oil is a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality. It begins in a hidden parcel nestled in the scenic Florentine hills, where a select few dozen olives are meticulously concealed within a wild Tuscan forest. The terroir of this parcel, uniquely shaped by the forest's gentle, cooling winds and the soft, dappled shadows cast by the surrounding trees, imparts a truly distinctive flavour profile. This parcel yields the essence of the highest quality Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, thanks to its unique terroir, meticulous care and sorting, resulting in an extremely limited quantity with a high flavour concentration.
ORA Gold (2023) is a unique and highly exclusive edition of Arsenio's Extra Virgin Olive Oil ORA. At the close of November 2023, only 88 bottles were crafted. This unique blend combines the distinct Extra Virgin Olive Oil with the exquisite Florentine Saffron, creating an unparalleled taste.
The Journey
The uniqueness
of ORA Gold does not stop with the olives; it goes further by infusing the ORA Gold Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil with one gram of organic Florentine Saffron, which is grown in the same parcel and shares the same unique terroir as the olives. The production of high-quality organic saffron is a long and scrupulous process. To produce one gram of dried saffron, it takes at least 150 to 200 hundred flowers, and every year, our production ranges from 50 to 150 grams. After the harvest of the saffron, we sort each flower, removing each pistil dehydrating and then maturing them for more than six months in an aerobic condition to concentrate the unique saffron aromas and flavours. This meticulous process ensures the highest quality and unique taste of our saffron.
ORA Gold Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil with one gram of organic Florentine Saffron
When the olive oil is pressed and the saffron completes maturation, we carefully infuse the ORA Gold Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil with one gram of organic Florentine Saffron. This process is done in exclusive numbered Bordeaux wine bottles with a slightly transparent base to observe the floating saffron. Each bottle is placed in a wooden numbered box, which protects the oil from any light exposure. It takes a couple of months to complete the infusion and balance all the flavours, aromas, and colours, ensuring a unique and exquisite taste.
ORA Gold (2023)
is not just about the uniqueness and rarity but also about the health benefits it brings. The combination of high levels of polyphenols in the ORA Gold extra virgin Olive Oil and Saffron bring anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects that can improve heart health, reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, improve sleep, and protect eye health. By choosing ORA Gold, you're not just indulging in a gourmet experience but also making a wise and beneficial choice for your health.
