Five Centuries of Craft in Puglia
The Legacy
At Masseria Maccarone in Brindisi, olive trees have been cultivated for over 500 years — rooted in the soil of southern Italy and cared for by generations of the same family. Here, olive oil is more than craft. It is tradition passed from hand to hand, season to season.
The Land
In the heart of Puglia, ancient olive trees stretch beneath wide Mediterranean skies. Warm Adriatic breezes, mineral-rich soil, and generous sunlight give the olives their depth and balance. For centuries, these groves have been part of daily life — harvest seasons, family tables, and meals shared. That same connection to the land continues to guide every step of production today.
The Harvest
Each autumn, the olives are harvested by hand at peak ripeness. Within hours, they are cold-extracted to preserve their natural freshness, aroma, and character. This careful timing protects the integrity of the fruit and captures the true expression of the grove in every bottle.
Single estate means nothing is blended or sourced elsewhere — what you taste reflects one place, one harvest, one story.
The Craft
Cold extraction reflects a commitment to quality. Pressing at controlled temperatures allows the oil to retain its natural depth and character. The result is a smooth yet vibrant extra virgin olive oil, finished with the subtle peppery note that defines a fresh Puglian harvest.
