The Olive Groves of Apulia. An ancient story rooted in strength
Ancient traditions and landscapes of olive groves
Apulia region has been linked to olive cultivation for centuries, an activity deeply rooted in the cultural and territorial fabric of this region. Thanks to its favourable climate, fertile soil, and traditions passed down from generation to generation, Apulia has become a major centre for the production of extra-virgin olive oil with unique qualities.
The hills around Corato are a testament to this ancient tradition. The vast olive groves that stretch across the horizon give the landscape a unique, historical charm. Here, the bond between people and olive trees is especially strong, with these majestic plants defining the surroundings.
In this region, tradition is in the air
Local olive growers are the guardians of these beautiful landscapes. During October and November, when the olives reach peak ripeness, you can see them being transported to local oil mills. This is where pressing takes place straightaway, ensuring the integrity and quality of the freshly picked olives.
Commitment to sustainability is a priority for Apulian olive-growers. Aware of the importance of protecting the environment and preserving natural resources, we have adopted eco-friendly farming practices and processing methods that minimise environmental impact. This commitment is reflected in the international reputation of Apulian olive oil, and in particular the Coratina variety, which is admired for its quality.
The coratina: the cultivar par excellence of these lands
Coratina olive oil from Apulia has gained a prominent place on tables all over the world. Thanks to its unique organoleptic characteristics, with a fruity, bitter and spicy taste, this oil is ideal for enhancing traditional Apulian and international dishes.
Its intense aromas and distinctive flavour profile make it an ingredient of choice for the most refined palates.
