We were born and raised in Milan. Ten years ago, after having cherished this idea for long, we finally decided to buy a farm in Apulia suited to the cultivation of olive trees and to the production of and extraordinary olive oil. After having carefully evaluated the decision, we finally made a dream come true. The reasons for this choice are based on the desire to get closer to a world far from our urban origins and our daily activities. After the initial enthusiasm and bewilderment to enter into a new and unknown experience , we began familiarizing  ourselves with agriculture, applying strict and clear procedures that naturally leaded us to tho organic production. Other than  the standard production, organic production's  protocols have allowed us to manage and control all the production steps, imposing to have all the phases  verified by certified third parties. Of course, this choice has decreased significantly our production, as we cannot use the ordinary solutions ensured only by chemical products  and used for the traditional practices. Our olive trees are supported and protected only by their natural strength and the consequence is that the trees produce less, but healthy olives. Furthermore we chose to organize  the harvest picking only i the olives still maturing on the plant (less then 1/3 circa of the olives) and not picking the ones already fallen on the ground (as traditional practice does). Last but not least the milling of the olives starts only few hours after the harvest and is cold worked, reducing the yield.

All these actions, together with an intensive plan for the tree's pruning, certainly have an extraordinary impact on the production costs and quantity reduction, but these actions guarantee the highest quality and healthiness we want in our kitchen and on our dining table. This has allowed the production of an organic extra virgin olive oil to us very valuable, which combines the history of olive trees with the attention to the taste and the quality of their fruit. The majesty of these trees, their history and ancientness, have taught us a dutiful respect for places and nature, giving us in return a precious fruit, their oil, their nectar.
