In this article, we will explore the unique characteristics of our condiment, the artisanal production process that makes it so special, its health benefits, and tips on how to use it in the kitchen.

The Region: Puglia and Its Olive Groves

A Landscape Rich in Tradition

Puglia, with its breathtaking landscapes and mild climate, is one of Italy’s most suited regions for olive cultivation. The olive groves of Puglia, some of which are centuries old, are carefully tended with dedication and passion, following ancient traditions passed down through generations. These olive groves are located in fertile, well-drained soils, kissed by the Mediterranean sun, which give the oil its unique and unmistakable flavor.

Sustainable Cultivation

Our commitment to sustainability is at the heart of our extra virgin olive oil production. We use organic farming methods, without the use of chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, thus respecting the environment and ensuring a pure and natural product. Our philosophy is simple: preserve the land for future generations while offering the highest quality oil.

The Artisanal Process: From Harvest to Pressing

Harvest and Milling

The olive harvest is a crucial moment that requires precision and attention. The olives are handpicked at the peak of ripeness, preserving all their organoleptic properties. The milling process occurs within hours of harvesting, using the cold pressing method. This process helps retain the oil’s nutrients and flavor, ensuring a superior final product.

Lemon Pressing

The distinctive feature of our condiment is the addition of fresh lemons during the olive pressing. This artisanal method, which involves the simultaneous pressing of olives and lemons, infuses the oil with the fresh, vibrant aroma of lemon, without any artificial flavors. The result is a delicate and fragrant condiment, perfect for enhancing a variety of dishes.

Health Benefits

Extra virgin olive oil is known for its numerous health benefits, thanks to its antioxidants, monounsaturated fats, and vitamins. The addition of lemon, rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, further enhances the beneficial properties of the condiment.
