Fruttato Peddio
The olive oil company Peddio has been passionately dealing with olive growing for four generations and produces an high quality extra virgin olive oil. The company is located in Cuglieri, Montiferru, Sardinia, Italy, a place with a high vocation for olive growing and where the sea and the mountains meet each other to create a perfect natural combination that allows, with its climate, its soil and its morphological conformation, to obtain an extra virgin olive oil that is characterised by an intense and distinctive flavour and an excellent nutritional quality. In order to obtain a high quality product and to cater for an always high demand for genuine and authentic taste, Peddio personally follows every stage of the production.
Il Primizio
The attachment to its own roots, the productive rigor and the passion that animate Tenuta Chiaramonte are the result of the agricultural culture of Sicily and in particular of the "Iblea" land, which boasts a millenary oil tradition. The company is located, in fact, in the countryside of Ragusa, between hills and typical dry stone walls. Tenuta Chiaramonte produces and seals organic extra virginolive oils, including two PDO and one PGI, which excel in terms of quality and organoleptic characteristics.
Il Siciliano Igp Sicilia
We are a three generation of olive oil makers, since 1922, located in the south-west coast of Sicily. Tenute Seidita covers over 100 hectares of land, with 15.000 olive trees, predominantly Nocellara del Belice cultivar. Harvesting is done exclusively by hand, olives are transformed within 12 hours since harvested through cold pressing in our Mil. We look after every single step of the production process, and we package only when requested to secure fresh products. We are PGI, BIO and Kosher certified, along with Slow Food presidium for secular trees.
Jannìa
Jannìa is extra virgin olive oil coming from secular Pennulara olive trees, a particular re-covered type of olives. It has excellent nutritional values and was most probably first planted in this area by Basilian monks who came from the East around year 1000. Jannìa oil is cold extracted with pressing starting within 4 hours after the collection of fruit, which guarantees preservation of all of its organoleptic properties. Crops are harvested, depending on the weather, in the middle of October, collecting olives in small crates and keeping them in the shade to avoid excessive exposure to the sun. Laboratory tests have revealed a particularly low acidity and a high level of polyphenols, which makes Jannìa an exceptionally high-quality olive oil. Tasting attributes: clear, emerald green colour, scents of freshly cut grass and lime peel, tomato leaf and thistle, alternated with artichoke, sage, mint and bitter almond skin, well-structured palate, balancing quite fine and fragrant long-lasting bitter and spicy notes. The olive grove is located in the heart of Calabria, right between the Ionian and the Terranean Sea, in Carello, a valley that is called after an adjacent village, uninhabited now but still worth a visit, which is situated right next to a place where the plateau of Sila slopes down to the Neto river. According to a local legend, the church of San Teodoro in Carello (the ruins of which can be seen today) was named after a Roman soldier who, besieged by enemies, appealed for help to God who transformed olive trees into troops that defeated the enemies. Sila is the biggest European continental plateau which was already well-known by Greeks and Romans for its rich resources of timber and minerals. Today, it is a mountainous area covered in virgin woods with diverse vegetation and wildlife. The olive grove is located 500 to 600 meters above the sea level, at the foot of Campo di Manna and Gimella mountains (1,200 meters above the sea level), the highest peak of the Neto Valley and the last offshoot of Sila. Jannìa has always been famous for its unique microclimate. In fact, average temperatures there are significantly less rigid than on the surrounding mountains, which allows the grove to be protected from the wind and adverse weather conditions. The land plot extends for 5 hectares and comprises about 500 olive trees, whose centennial stems are easily visible when going up the road surrounded by oaks, spruces and pine trees that leads to San Giovanni in Fiore, the main town of Sila. The terrain is fairly homogeneous tending towards sandy with a rocky structure, which is ideal for olive tree root system since it prevents water deposits in the soil. Often, foxes, boars and roes pass through. The roots of this orchard go deep into the past and now represent an authentic gem that deserves attention and appreciation.
