An olive branch with purple and green olives, in the groves of Biccari A hand full of freshly picked olives, green and turning colour

Grown in Biccari, in the hills of the Monti Dauni.

The olives are a local variety of the Ogliarola family, which in the village we call “la biccarese”.

Our oil has a green fruitiness of medium intensity, with aromas of almond, artichoke and aromatic herbs. On the palate it strikes a perfect balance between bitterness and pungency, with a pleasant, lingering finish. Bold yet harmonious, it is ideal both raw and for cooking.

One oil, four formats.

In a 500 ml bottle or a 3-litre Bag in Box, with or without the cruet.

From branch to bottle

10 hours at most between harvest and mill.

  1. Harvest

    In October, with a trunk shaker, handheld harvesters and “racanelle”, the nets laid carefully under the trees.

  2. Mill

    Olives milled at a local mill to cut the waiting time, prevent fermentation and keep acidity low.

  3. Filtering

    The freshly extracted oil goes straight through pure cellulose filter panels.

  4. Storage

    In stainless steel tanks, under nitrogen and at a controlled temperature.

Simona among the olive trees of Biccari with the Contrada Ingegnoso Bag in Box

The name comes from a family olive grove.

Contrada Ingegnoso is the place where grandfather Peppe bought an abandoned olive grove, fewer than a hundred trees near the village. That is where Simona’s project began, when she came back to Biccari to make the most of the oil of her land.

“Our care in storing the oil is what keeps its flavours, aromas and scents intact.”
