OUR ORIGINS The Salento peninsula is the territory further east of Italy. Tip to the south of Puglia, Salento winds between two seas stretched eastward. Famous for unspoiled nature and crystal clear sea hinterland covered by an endless expanse of olive trees, the Salento peninsula has achieved in recent years a growing reputation for its artistic and natural beauty. Customs and rituals combined with a genuine culinary tradition constitute an exceptional cultural and gastronomic heritage, a paradise for lovers of well-being. OUR PHILOSOPHY Our company wants to be a bridge between tradition and innovation. It marries the desire to preserve the purity and excellence of a valuable product like oil with the intention of making him known and appreciated by a demanding and attentive to issues healthy nutrition. OUR HISTORY The Farm Nicola Santoro was born in 2010 when Nicola at the end of graduate studies and a thesis on Sustainable Agriculture in the olive oil sector, decided to replace the gray tired of Milan cerulean silver trunks of the olive its Salento. So finally one day dreams come true and everything is ready to go home. Through innovation in the methods of collecting, crushing and pressing of the olive, it was possible to substantially reduce the processing times and in this way the organoleptic and nutritional properties of the fruit are kept intact. Our oil comes to your table load of scents and fragrances of our land, the fruit of love for the land and the passion to the Mediterranean diet. OUR OIL Very valuable native varieties such as Cellina di Nardo (also used in confectionery) Ogliarola Salento, the Leccina and Coratina are carefully selected to create harmonies blending oils or mono with excellent organoleptic properties.
