Discover the unique flavor of our wonderful land.
Salento’s extra virgin olive oil owes its good fortune, deliciousness and goodness to the special blend of elements that characterize the Salento area, a magical land of southern Italy that boasts places where unspoiled nature is still present and where the meeting of sea and land creates breathtaking landscapes and regenerates heart and soul. Situated between the two seas of the Adriatic Sea to the east and the Ionian Sea to the west, south of Puglia, Salento is characterized by a particularly rugged, dry terrain in which karst rock opens sudden gashes in the ground, with plateaus where cultivated fields, vineyards and olive groves emerge among the rocks, the result of the centuries-old, patient work of generations of farmers, to whom belongs the credit for providing fertile soil for the production of Italian olive oil.
Gorgeous color, delicious taste, overpowering fragrance.
