Our Passion for olive oil

Michelangelo Buonarroti once said: “The greatest danger for many of us is not that our goals are too high and therefore we cannot achieve them, but that they are too low and we achieve them”, this is why we are never satisfied with what we have achieved and we are constantly trying to improve ourselves

The innovation of the tradition

Our belief is that there is no dividing line between tradition and innovation. As in art, the research and implementation of experimental agriculture practices, innovation aligns with contemporary. A piece of contemporary art is easy to recognize as it offers a completely new way of seeing reality. Similarly the best innovation in agriculture is one that marries new technology and innovation with age-old traditions.

Biodiversity

We believe it is vital to preserve the biodiversity of our genetic heritage. Fort this reason it has created an hortus botanicus which collects a large variety of olive germoplasm categorized for scientific purposes

We thrive in making olive oils that enrich the taste&soul.
