We witness the whole process of processing olives, from harvesting to milling. The Farm is based in Squinzano and is run by the brothers Donato and Rosaria, who, together with their parents, have started a project of specialization and modernization of the property. It produces Extra Virgin Olive Oil according to the highest quality standards and with the utmost respect for hygiene. Inside the company, surrounded by 150 hectares of olive groves, all the olive processing activities are carried out: production, pressing within 3 hours from the cold extraction, transformation, and bottling of the precious final product. There is no shortage, to complete the work done and to guarantee the product obtained, a sense of tradition and respect for the environment. There are four types of extra virgin olive oil produced, in addition to aromatic oils with basil, lemon, chilli and virgin olive oil: • Extrà, source of vitamin E, which contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, is an oil obtained from the processing of different qualities of olives: Cellina di Nardò, Ogliarola Salentina, Leccino, Frantoio, Nociara, Carolea, Picholine and Coratina.
