Frantoio L'ulivo s.a.s. from Catanzaro Angela

Sale of extra virgin olive oil from Puglia

Among the extra virgin olive oils from Puglia and, specifically in S. Pietro Vernotico in the province of Brindisi, we find the extra virgin olive oils of the company l'Ulivo Sas which was founded and consolidated in 2010 thanks to the will and tenacity of its founder Gianluca Invidia who since 1998 he has gained experience and strengthened his passion for the activity of olive grower and producer of extra virgin olive oil, introducing important innovations into the company he manages and attracting more and more enthusiastic customers. It all started a bit for fun but, as time passed, the involvement and enthusiasm grew more and more to give birth to a passion and a real love for this activity.

In recent years, with the involvement of the whole family, he has focused heavily on innovation and sustainability by introducing the new methodologies of modern agriculture, thus creating Ulivo sas. The construction of a latest generation oil mill has allowed the growth of the company which has seen substantial increases in production and turnover from year to year.

Although the Frantoio L'ulivo s.a.s. is not yet registered as an organic company, the cultivation systems reflect the same standards; in fact, during the vegetative phase of the plants no chemical products are used and, by avoiding polluting the environment, bees become precious allies by carrying out the pollination function of our olive trees. By using organic manual methods in the management of the olive trees, a highly nutritious product is obtained, guaranteed to also feed children who consume Ulivo Sas products in every part of the world.

Today the farm extends over approximately 20 hectares of olive groves, vineyards and wheat. San Pietro Vernotico is traditionally an area of ​​excellence for the production of wine and oil; archaeological findings of oil mills located in hypogea testify that since the 6th century BC.  and until the Middle Ages the inhabitants of the ancient city of Valesio, located in this province, dedicated themselves to these crops and productions. Ultimately, this seems like a great way to give continuity to the tradition that has been handed down over the millennia from father to son and from generation to generation in this beautiful area in the center of Salento.
