I — The Estate
Our grandfather planted these trees. Three generations of Macchia have tended them since, at their pace, not ours.
The grove grows in the red earth and limestone of Puglia, where sea wind off the Adriatic and cool autumn nights slow the fruit and concentrate its bitterness — the signature of a truly fresh oil.
We pick only the first, greenest olives of the season. The yield is a fraction of a late harvest. The flavour is something else entirely: cut grass, green almond, a peppery catch at the back of the throat.
II — The Oil
One grove.
One oil.
We make a single extra virgin olive oil each year, from our own trees and nothing else. Green tomato leaf, artichoke and fresh almond, with a long peppery finish.
