Matusalemme Olive Oil: the extra virgin oil of the thousand-year-old tree
From the garden of the Majestic Palace Sorrento comes Matusalemme, an Italian extra virgin olive oil produced from the hotel's centuries-old olive trees, including a majestic thousand-year-old specimen.
At the heart of the Majestic Palace Sorrento's garden grows a living heritage: centuries-old olive trees that have watched over the Sorrento Peninsula for generations. Among them stands a majestic thousand-year-old specimen, a silent witness to more than a millennium of history. From these trees comes Matusalemme, the extra virgin olive oil that bears the name of longevity and memory.
The harvest is done by hand, following the rhythms of nature, and the olives are cold-pressed within a few hours to keep their aromas and properties intact. The result is an extra virgin oil of a golden-green colour, with fruity notes, a herbaceous touch and a slightly peppery finish that tells of the generosity of the Campanian land.
Matusalemme is not merely a condiment, but the authentic expression of the bond between the Majestic Palace and its garden. The very same vegetable garden that supplies the Michelin-starred Don Geppi kitchen also guards these olive trees, in a virtuous cycle where hospitality, gastronomy and nature intertwine.
To taste Matusalemme oil is to bring centuries of history to the table: a drizzle over a traditional dish, and suddenly the authentic flavour of the Sorrento Coast comes to life.
