Organic Cold-Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil: The Healthy and Flavorful Choice

Organic cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil is not only a high-quality product but also a unique culinary experience that celebrates the traditions and territory of Puglia. Produced by Azienda Agricola Pietrasanta in Carovigno (Brindisi), this oil is the result of a long family tradition and a genuine passion for the cultivation and care of olive groves. Located in a hilly area of Puglia, near the Torre Guaceto reserve, our olive groves benefit from a Mediterranean climate and a unique territory, which give our oil its unmistakable flavor and aromatic notes of fresh almond husk, thistle, and wild herbs.

Production and Processing

Our production process begins with the manual harvesting of Ogliarola and Cellina di Nardò olives to ensure the maximum integrity of the fruit. The olives are brought to the mill within just a few hours of harvesting, a crucial moment to preserve their organoleptic properties. The pressing process is done using a modern cold-press mechanical system, a method that allows the oil to be extracted without altering its aromatic profile or nutritional properties.

Pietrasanta Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil stands out for its low acidity content, one of the key indicators of quality. On the nose, it has a medium-intense fruity aroma with notes of fresh almond husk, thistle, and wild herbs, while on the palate, it offers a perfect balance between bitterness and spiciness, both intense and elegant. This organoleptic profile makes it ideal for enhancing rich dishes with strong flavors, such as legume soups and grilled meats.
