The Philosophy
Our farm extends over various lands, from the sea to the heights of Aurigo, a town 450 meters inland from Imperia. This diversity of our olive groves allows us to offer a range of oils with very different flavors, always with at the base the typical delicacy of our Taggiasca olive. In our company laboratory, in addition, we also produce the characteristic "Taggiasca" olives in brine and other typical products of our cuisine.(Samuele Aicardi)
