Our extra virgin olive oil is made with care and nothing but our self-certified organic olives picked directly from olive trees in the Valle d’Itria and quickly cold-pressed using modern technology.
Inspired by traditional small-scale agroecology we strive to learn how to take better care of our biodiversity and the health of the soil in this time of pathogens and environmental changes.
Our olive varieties are mostly Oliva rossa, Coratina, Leccino and Cima di Melfi, with a few centuries-old Ogliarola and Cellina di Nardò trees scattered among the terraced hills or the dry-stone trulli, and you can join us in caring for these olive trees and for the landscape of Puglia by paying a fair price for our olive oil.
This year we have produced four different olive oils:

The allocation of the different varieties of olives and the shipping times are hypothetical.
Our olive oil is “self-certified organic” since we believe that it is those who pollute the world that should bear a “certificate” – and pay to do so.
