"Gift from the Gods" for the Egyptians, "fluid" for the Phoenicians and "precious matter" for the Greeks and the Romans, olive oil has been considered as something invaluable over the centuries.Puglia's economy has depended greatly on the cultivation of olive-trees, which have almost become the emblem of this land.
A boost to olive tree cultivation in Puglia was given in the 18th century, when the young sovereign "Carlo il Borbone" promised great tax reduction to those land-owners who would plant olive trees on their expanses. Nowadays in Puglia there are over 50 million olive trees. The whole countryside is dominated by this protected species, which best epitomizes the Mediterranean Civilization: tall and mighty, this monumental natural work-of-art seems to have become a sacred repository of universal values.
The extra virgin oil, thanks to its natural properties, is used as a cosmetic agent to smoothe and soften the skin and to reduce the lines on the face, thanks to its stimulating effects on the tissue cells.
The farm "Specolizzi" is located in the South of Salento, home of age-old olive trees.
Here the farm extends on a surface of several hectares, which the precious oil is obtained from. A small quantity of this oil is bottled and sold to the guests of the farm.
Producing good quality olive oil is not easy. It takes expertise and a lot of passion,from
The olives are picked in November - when their green color turns to violet - before they fall to the ground, then taken to the oil-mill and processed.
