Past
Maria Rosa e Donato
In 1983 our mother Maria Rosa inherits a considerable piece of land full of olive trees, most of them are 500 years old. In this olive grove there are two sorts of D.O.P. autocthone culitvars: the Ogliarola Salento e the Cellina di Nardò. Her husband Donato encouraged her not stop producing oil as the family had been doing it for centuries using an underground olive press which are a now a landmark of Salento.
