Since the early middle ages, the Montegiove estate has produced olives. Traditional varieties, such as Moraiolo, Leccino, Frantoio and Pendolo are grown following careful methods of cultivation to protect the unspoiled environment and to guarantee an excellent product. The estate has its own olive mill and the hand-picked and specially selected olives, sometimes from trees that are more than a century old are carefully pressed within 24 hours of being picked. The newly pressed and unfiltered olive oil is decanted in special casks in the castle cellars. The clear olive oil is then carefully bottled in dark green glass bottles in order to preserve the unique quality of the oil.
The commune of Montegabbione, of which Montegiove today is a fraction, is a member of: The national organization of olive oil prodcing cities: "Associazione Nazionale Citta' dell'Olio"
