Located in the heel of Italy's boot, Puglia is blessed with a Mediterranean climate that offers year-round warmth and light. Rolling hills, vast plains and the Adriatic and Ionian coasts create a landscape that is at once rugged and refined. These natural assets make it a paradise not only for travellers, but also for agriculture - and especially olive trees, which have flourished here for thousands of years.
In Puglia, you will find olive trees older than most human structures. Some trees are more than a thousand years old, with jagged trunks rising from the earth like sculptures. These trees are cherished and are a symbol of perseverance, tranquillity and tradition. It is from these ancient trees that the basis for our extra virgin olive oil.
Puglia's villages and towns are in themselves a reason to fall in love with this region. From baroque Lecce to high-altitude Ostuni - the 'white city' - you can taste history everywhere. The locals are proud of their traditions, their cuisine and their hospitality. And yes, olive oil can be found on every table, as the binding agent of social and culinary life.
In Puglia, the connection with the rhythm of the seasons is still tangible. Each season has its own charm and meaning. Autumn brings the olive harvest, a moment of togetherness and labour. Spring sees the blossoms of new fruit. This close connection with nature can be felt in the quality of the products - and especially in the oils.
What sets Puglia apart is the combination of ancient artisanal techniques and modern diligence. Olives here are often picked by hand, pressed directly and bottled under strict supervision. This leads to a flavourful and pure end product, such as our 5L olive oil - a tribute to Puglian perfection.
More and more people are discovering Puglia as a destination precisely because of its authentic atmosphere and unpolished character. The cuisine is simple, pure and flavoursome - with olive oil as an indispensable base. Anyone travelling through the region will see the importance of olive oil in every restaurant, family and party. It is a lifestyle you taste.
Although increasingly modern, Puglia remains true to its roots. The young generation of farmers consciously opts for organic farming, circular agriculture and respect for tradition. As a result, the region remains true to itself, with products that are more than a label - they tell a story.
