The Congedi family has been cultivating the art of oil since 1917, and today that heritage takes shape in a new space: modern, elegant, but deeply rooted in the land from which it all began.

A new mill, the same passion as always

The new Congedi oil mill is not simply a place where oil is born. It is a story that becomes matter, fragrance, flavor.
We worked for a long time to create an environment that could welcome visitors and customers with warmth and transparency, to really show how our Apulian extra virgin olive oil, the fruit of a long family tradition and a deep love for the land, is born.

The restyling of the oil mill, with attention to the smallest details, has transformed a historic space into a reference point for those seeking quality artisanal oil in Puglia, and at the same time wanting to live a sensory experience linked to the authentic values of our land.

A place where oil comes to life

The new Congedi oil mill is designed to tell a story. To tell the story of the care behind each bottle, the work among the olive groves, the selection of the olives, the cold processing and every detail that makes our oil so special.

But most of all, it is designed to welcome you.
Entering the oil mill means immersing yourself in a sensory journey that starts with the raw material and goes all the way to the final taste: a journey into the intense aromas of oil, the robust flavors of our land, and the beauty of a tradition that is renewed.

Boutique and tasting: the value of direct contact

One of the most popular new features is our new in-house boutique: an elegant, refined space where you can buy directly all the products you just tasted during the free tasting.

Congedi’s extra virgin olive oil, in all its variations, is complemented by selected specialties and local products designed to offer a complete experience for the senses.

Here we talk not only about oil, but about gastronomic culture, the Mediterranean lifestyle, and true flavors.
Each product is chosen to tell the story of the best of our mill and our land.
