Who we are
About the farm
We farm near Surbo, close to Lecce and next to the Rauccio nature park, around a 16th-century fortified tower; our estate of about 65 hectares comprises young and centuries-old olive groves, orchards, citrus groves and vegetable gardens. Since 2006 we have pressed our olives in our own mill, cold and within 24 hours of harvest, into extra virgin olive oil; from our fruit we make jams, from our olives brined table olives and pâté, and our own hives give us wildflower honey. We sell our products in our online shop, and in our restaurant, open since 2000, we welcome you with dishes of Salento cuisine.

Write a review
How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
