We use the finest estate – grown Carolea, Coratina and Nocellara olives to craft our premium extra virgin olive oil.
We carefully follow all stages of the production process in order to obtain a high quality, award-winning extra virgin olive oil.
Cultivation
We use environmentally friendly techniques, in compliance with the European regulations and the integrated agriculture systems.
Experienced agronomists support our team by checking that the olive trees and their fruits are always healthy.
Harvest
This is a crucial moment in the production of high quality extra virgin olive oil. The olives are harvested when they are still green, at the initial phase of ripening, in order to guarantee a strong presence of aromatic and phenolic substances that give quality and flavour to the extra virgin olive oil.
We harvest the olives from the beginning of October to mid-November.
Extraction
“Within six hours from harvesting”
The olives are processed and the is oil cold extracted within 6 hours from harvesting to avoid oxidation.
The mill, located within a few minutes from the olive groves, combines modern extraction technology without addition of water, resulting in a more eco-friendly and top quality extra virgin olive oil.
Bottling
“Preserving the flavour”.
Once extracted, the oil is stored in sterilized stainless steel tanks with inert nitrogen to avoid oxidation.
The tanks are kept in our laboratory under controlled temperature. We only bottle our own extra virgin olive oil.
A family estate with centenary trees overlooking the clear blue waters of the Mediterranean sea in Lamezia Terme, Calabria and a doctor, my grandfather, who believed in the extraordinary health benefits of high quality extra virgin olive oil.
I grew up playing with my sister and my cousins in the family olive groves, embracing a genuine love for our countryside and our beautiful landscape.
We all learned to follow the seasons, the slow process of growth that requires calmness and empathy for nature’s cycles.
