Olive Oil

About our ... Olive Oil

Olive oil is historically woven into the fabric of Sardinian cultural life. Over thousands of years Sardinia's invaders have recognised the quality and trading value of the island's oil, a wonderful result of the native tree species', the terrain, the rich soil and the mediterranean climate.

Taking full advantage, the Romans and Carthaginians benefitted from a flourishing trade in the island's oil and the Spanish introduced new grafting techniques and decreed that each citizen must graft at least 10 wild olive trees each year. The House of Savoy kings required landowners to plant olive trees on their boundaries and to cultivate any wild trees on their property.

Now, Sardinian's reap the rewards of their past and many credit their good health and high life expectancy to the quality of their olive oil. The olive harvest in Autumn remains a focus of Sardinian rural life.

You can enjoy the taste of Sardinia's exceptional olive oil with our own award winning single estate extra virgin olive oil produced in the planargia region on the West Coast of Sardinia, which is renowned for the great taste of its oil.
