Our oils

"Meridiano" and "Olio delle pendici"
Both oils are extra virgin olive oil, organically produced solely from the Ogliarola Salentina, the marine olive tree.

"Meridiano"

This type of oil we consider the "Classic" of our produce. The combination of organic cultivation, a modern system of harvesting by mechanical shakers and the austere solidity of this variety of olive tree, are the main ingredients for this golden coloured oil, very fragrant and sweet to the taste. Even when freshly pressed, this oil is not bitter or too spicy, but has an excellent flavour and is appropriate for boiled vegetables and for legumes.

Characteristics: organic, acidity = 0,65%
colour decidedly golden, fragrant of the olive fruit itself, not bitter and not too spicy, fruity to the taste, with an excellent flavour and suitable for boiled vegetables and legumes.

"Olio delle pendici"

In October, when it is close to harvest time and the olive-groves are prepared for the imminent picking, all olives are hand-picked from the olive trees leaning out over the road or over rubble walls along the extreme border of our lands, where it's hardly possible to put nets and so manual labour is essential. The first oil, pressed normally in October is normally for home use and never for sale.
Wise old farmers' experience together with agronomic know-how have guided us throughout the years to adopt the best method for harvesting the olives - the experience of our elders coupled with modern technology applied to organic agriculture. Our great passion has its great reward in this extra virgin olive oil, organically produced, with low acidity and refined organoleptic qualities, with a special flavour.

Characteristics: Organically produced, Acidity=0.45%, golden coloured with greenish nuances, delicate fruity taste, neither bitter nor spicy, very sweet tasting and not too strong, suitable for delicate food such as white fish and mixed salads.
