Climate

Despite the fresh and rainy spring, the 2019 flowering was abundant and generous.

The increase in temperatures starting from the month of June has favored the complete recovery of the initial phenological delay.

The precious summer rainfall guaranteed a linear growth of the drupes and an excellent vegetative state of the plants.

The harvest took place at the end of October, in advance of about 20 days compared to the average of the past seasons, and was carried out manually with the aid of mechanical facilitators in order to preserve the quality of each single drupe.

The olives were then sent directly to the mill to be transformed into oil on the same day. Acidity 0.3% in oleic acid. Origin The olives come from the Bocca di Lupo estate, located in Minervino Murge (BT) at about 300 meters. above sea level, in the heart of the Murgia.
