Extra Virgin Olive Oil Monocultivar

The extra virgin olive oil Antica Masseria del Fano is produced from olive trees of the variety Ogliarola Salentina and Cellina of Nardo’. The olive trees are immersed in and surrounded by forests and streams in an uncontaminated environment.

We grow 40 hectares of olive trees, for a total of about 1.500 plants, many of them centuries old. The olives are between 20 and 75 mt. above sea level, on steep incline that overlook the Maldives of Salento. The olives are taken to the mill on the day of collection order to maintain maximum freshness of fruits and hatred made from it. Crushing and extraction are very accurate, at temperatures below 27 ° C, with continuous mill.
