Experience the pure essence of Puglia.
Essentiale is our limited-edition extra virgin olive oil, cold-pressed within hours of harvest from hand-picked olives grown under the southern sun. Its taste is vibrant yet balanced.

Perfect for elevating salads, pasta, grilled vegetables, or simply enjoyed on warm bread.

We chose this name not only because our olive oil is created in its purest form — cold-pressed, unblended, unhurried — but also because it reminds us of what truly matters. Just as olive oil has been at the heart of Mediterranean life for millennia, Essenziale embodies nourishment, authenticity, and beauty stripped to its core. Cold pressing ensures a higher quality oil in terms of taste, colour, and texture. The resulting oil tends to have a more robust flavour profile and a richer colour compared to oils extracted using high-heat methods.

Introducing Il Quotidiano, the everyday extra virgin olive oil from the heart of our family grove in Puglia. Born from the same passion and tradition as our premium Uliveto di Mede line, Il Quotidiano is crafted for those who want to enjoy honest, natural flavor every single day — without compromise.

Harvested by hand from centuries-old olive trees and cold-pressed within hours, this oil brings you the rich character of Puglia in its most approachable form. The taste is smooth and well-balanced, with gentle grassy notes, a hint of green almond, and a delicate peppery finish that makes it perfect for daily cooking and drizzling.

Whether you're preparing a simple salad, roasting vegetables, or finishing a warm bowl of soup, Il Quotidiano adds soul to your meals — effortlessly.

Made with respect for nature, tradition, and your table.
