The Hands Behind BABBO
The Farm: La Ginestrina



Azienda Agricola La Ginestrina is located in the medieval village of Castiglioncello Bandini, 600 meters above sea level near Monte Amiata. Picture rolling hills surrounded by undisturbed nature, wooded forests, and steep creek beds. 


Environmental Stewardship

The farm’s organic farming methods reflect a strong respect for the environment. By avoiding chemicals and nurturing the land, La Ginestrina preserves local biodiversity and ecological health. This stewardship helps ensure that both the farm’s land and its surrounding environment remain sustainable and vibrant.


Centuries’ Old Quality

Tuscan olive trees have flourished here for centuries, without the intervention of chemicals. Organic farming is at the heart of their olive oil production, contributing to the purity of taste and uncompromised health benefits. Relying on ancient Tuscan varieties imparts the final product with a fruity, complex, profile, resulting in an olive oil celebrated for its superior taste and quality.
