Below a snapshot of our visits held at some of our producers in 2019.
Fattoria Ambrosio rises in the uncontaminated area of Cilento, in Campania
Case D'Alto is located in the green Irpinia, in Campania
The mill Americo Quattrociocchi, is located among olive trees on a beautiful hillside, around 1 hour south of Rome and few KM from the sea. Reference point of infinite historical and cultural treasures.
We arrived at Almerico farm in November 2nd during milling activity. We were able to follow all the phases of milling of his splendid Olives.
Americo follows directly all the phases of the milling. But he also has valid collaborators who came from time to time to ask for his recommendations
The temperature of the olive oil is brought to minimum levels in this phase of the milling and Americo pointed out to me how cold the pipeline was.
Tasting time was exciting. During this last part of the visit Americo recalled his grandmother and then his father, from the first he remembered how he learned to make tomato sauces and jams, instead of his father he recalls how He learned the love and respect for the land.
