Eat the way Italians eat in Italy

Our aim is simple: the oil you would find in an Italian kitchen — at mill price, not gourmet-deli price.

We work exclusively with the Il Sannicandrese cooperative in Puglia. Its members are all small local growers, and the olives are harvested within about 5 km of the mill. The resulting oil is therefore not merely 100% Italian, but 100% from Puglia.

We will let them introduce themselves.

Four moments filmed at the mill, on a December harvest morning. No commentary, no sound.

The olives go into the hopper
They move on towards washing
Leaves and twigs are taken out
The new oil runs out
