Olive cultivation in the lower part of Lazio is not easy. The impervious terraced lands do not allow mechanised harvesting so this is done completely by hand. However, the hard work and devotion to carry out this olive cultivation of “resistance” are transformed into aromas and scents that only this territory can release.

HISTORY DATING BACK THOUSANDS OF YEARS
HISTORY DATING BACK THOUSANDS OF YEARS
We are inspired in what we do by the Greek myth from which the olive oil tree takes its origin
At the center of our logo is the goddess Athena, competing with Poseidon for the sovereignty of Attica, a region of ancient Greece. The two challenged each other in a dispute over who would offer the most beautiful gift to the Athenian people. Poseidon hurled his trident to the ground and raised a horse, a powerful and swift animal that could ensure victory in battle. Athena, on the other hand, striking a rock with her spear caused an olive tree to rise from the ground with multiple beneficial functions: to illuminate the night, feed the people and treat wounds.
Zeus, judge of the challenge, crowned Athena ruler of Attica, as her invention was more peaceful and useful to the people. In addition to the myth, there is a reference to territoriality in the logo, given by the three "S "s (of the Italian words Sole, Sasso e Scure) surrounding the goddess and embodying the idea of the significance of olive growing in our areas. Sole | Sun: vital source for every organism; Sasso | Stone: the calcareous origin of our soils; Scure | Hatchet: so called in ancient times the axe.
