he picked up a wooden stick and started to thrash at the olive branches. His grandfather stopped his attack and asked him how he would feel if the stick was used in the same way on him.

He believes that what tastes good should also ‘be good’, so all his products are carefully hand picked at just the right stage of ripeness, traditionally stone cold-pressed at the local mill, and kept free of colourants, additives and anything else that interferes with the authentic natural flavours derived from the Italian countryside.

Puglia stretches down the heel of the boot making it a land somewhat apart from the rest of Italy, but nothing could be further than the truth.

We are very proud to be working with these amazing producers.
