Extra virgin olive oil

The eldest of the brothers, Vincenzo, says:

The most vivid and exciting memory for him is linked to the oil mill. Every time they went there, the emotion was palpable. We watched with wide eyes the process of transformation of the olives, from the first washing to the milling and finally the extraction of the oil. Those moments were magical, imbued with intense, intoxicating scents that seemed to fill the air itself.

The smell of the new oil, fresh and fragrant, is an indelible memory for Vincenzo. It takes him back in time, to those distant years, when they were little more than a child but already immersed in a tradition that would accompany them throughout their lives. “It feels like yesterday,” he often says, with a nostalgic smile, as the scents of those days resurface in his memory, bringing to life every detail of those moments spent among the olive trees.
