The Territory: Puglia and Its Olive Groves

A Landscape Rich in Tradition

Puglia, located in the heart of the Mediterranean, is famous for its centuries-old olive groves and the production of high-quality extra virgin olive oil. The olive trees in Puglia are cultivated in rich, fertile soils, bathed in sunlight and caressed by the sea breeze, conditions that give the oil its unique and unmistakable flavor.

Sustainable Farming

Our company is committed to sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural practices. The olives are grown without the use of chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, ensuring a pure and natural final product. This approach not only preserves local biodiversity but also ensures that every bottle of our extra virgin olive oil is a concentrate of health and well-being.

The Artisan Processing: From Harvesting to Maceration

Harvesting and Crushing

The olives are hand-harvested only when they have reached the right level of ripeness. This process takes place within 12-18 hours of harvesting to preserve all the organoleptic properties of the olives. Cold pressing helps to maintain the nutrients and flavor of the oil, resulting in a superior product.

Maceration of the Chilies

After crushing, the extra virgin olive oil is left to macerate with fresh chilies and peppers for 48 hours. This traditional method allows the oil to absorb the spicy and aromatic flavors of the chili, creating a condiment with a bright red color and intense flavor. The maceration is carried out without the addition of preservatives or additives, ensuring a 100% natural product.

Health Benefits

Extra virgin olive oil is known for its numerous health benefits. Rich in antioxidants and monounsaturated fatty acids, it helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, improves skin health, and has anti-inflammatory properties. Chili peppers, in addition, contain capsaicin, a compound that stimulates metabolism and helps improve blood circulation.
