ULIVE’

From the meeting of the blue of the Gulf of Taranto and the intense purple of the olives in the Murgia Tarantina, Ulivè Grand Cru is born, a precious EVO oil, the result of a unique terroir of its kind. It is the land that has chosen us to produce a refined oil, an expression of precious and exclusive organoleptic characteristics.
A unique microclimate, in the middle between the Taranto Murgia and the Sea
Piccolo di Taranto, which allows aromatic expressions exceptionally intense.

It is the land that has chosen us, that has decided to welcome and grow our olive trees to produce a unique oil, a truly immersive sensory experience that involves all the senses. It starts from the view, with a purple casket like the ripe olives of our land, and illuminated by the silver of the Mar Piccolo. soil exposed to East and West, which favors a large
variability and gives the best fruits.The precious relief on the olive of the Ulivè Grand Cru label establishes a contact with our fruits and the gold of our oil.link to Ulivè  https://olioulive.com

LOLU’
LoLù is born from the Coratina olive that never comes into contact with light, heat or oxygen. After being washed, it does not come into contact with anything that could affect its quality. I’ve been looking for that kind of fringe. Lolù is delicate, perfect even with fine flavors with which to experiment with unprecedented combinations for a Coratina variety.CERIGNOLA  is a hisrotic municipality in the Foggia area ( Apulia) in the Olfanto Valley.
The ” Bella di Cerignola” It is an autochthonous olive ideal as a table olive. It hardly finds space in environments far from the Capitanata Tableland, due to the climate that does not favor its growth elsewhere.Up to 30 grams on a single product, for a total of firm and fleshy pulp that reaches 85% of the total volume, arrived in Italy around the fifteenth century by the Aragonese: it is no coincidence that it is called Oliva di Spagna.

Thanks to its unique and recognizable organoleptic properties, it obtained the DOP mark in 2000. Opening a bottle of Lolù the result is immediately recognizable by smell. A product in which quality is not an added value. Enrich your dishes with Lolù.

Just ad drizzle of raw Lolù on a cream of pumpkin and pistachios, achieving an unparalleled culinary balance.

Let’s move to beautiful Sardinia.
For over a hundred years Pinna’s Brothers have been producing great oils , always searching for quality through the respect and enhancement of a territory so rich as to offer us all the ingredients necessary for a superior quality agricultural production. Including energy.
A large part of their production process is in fact powered by the sun and olives, recycling the stones to extract precious energy which is added to that supplied by the photovoltaic systems.
Similarly, our two-phase oil mill extracts the oil using the vegetable water contained in the olives,without any use of external water resources.

Today I would like to focus on  “Antichi uliveti del prato” is a mono varietal oil obtained from the pressing of olives of the “bosana” variety only produced in a centenary olive groves located in the  locality of “Maccia d´Agliastru” known as the “municipal meadow”  The result is an oil with very low acidity and exceptionally rich in polyphenols which has obtained important national and international awards.
