Apulian Oil
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
from Alta Murgia Barese
Alta Murgia is a limestone plateau where the sun beats down hard and the breeze from the Adriatic Sea arrives to temper the scorching summers. In this rugged and beautiful landscape, the olive tree finds ideal conditions to produce an oil of extraordinary aromatic complexity.
The Coratina and Ogliarola Barese varieties blend into an oil that reflects the soul of this land. A living oil that stings, that is fragrant, that tastes of olive.
