Crusher Giuranna

Giuranna Oil Mill Farm has been producing high-quality extra virgin olive oil since 1959, the year in which Mr Biagio, a well-known trader, together with his young and ambitious son Vito, decided to diversify his business by investing in what would have been one of the first modern and innovative oil mills in the entire Salento. In the following years, the business has grown steadily both in terms of quantity and, above all, quality. Today, the company is in the third generation and the young Biagino looks after both the olive groves, which extend over an area of about thirty hectares entirely located in the territory of Nardò, and the olive processing activity, which is concentrated between the first days of October and the first half of November. The harvest is staggered according to the variety of olives in the field and the degree of veraison of the drupes which are harvested exclusively by hand and by means of pneumatic harvesters and transported to the oil mill; then, they are processed within the following twelve hours. The attention towards all these details allows the company to produce every year a high-quality extra virgin olive oil with an intense fruity flavour.
