WHO WE ARE

🌿 OUR STORY

We are theBarone di Fata Michael Agricultural Farm, custodians of an olive-growing tradition rooted in the history of our family and our land.

For generations, we have passionately cultivated the olive trees that dot our hills, where the Mediterranean sun ☀️ kisses the earth and the wind carries the scent of the sea. Here, in the heart of southern Italy, every season tells a story of dedication, patience, and love for nature.

Our centuries-old olive trees, some more than a hundred years old, are silent witnesses to the passage of time. Their deep roots draw from the richness of the soil, while their generous branches gift us with precious olives, full of sunshine and flavor.

💚 OUR PHILOSOPHY

We believe that extra virgin olive oil is not simply a condiment, but the very essence of the Mediterranean diet, a cultural heritage to be preserved and proudly passed down.

For us, every bottle is an act of love for the land, for those who work it, and for those who choose to bring our story into their home.

Quality is not a goal, it is our identity.

✨ WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE

🌱 Certified Organic Farming We cultivate without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Only respect for the land that nourishes us and that we want to leave intact for future generations. Our organic certification is the guarantee of a pure and genuine product.

🇮🇹 100% Made in Italy From seed to bottle, every stage takes place on our farm. Total traceability, absolute transparency. When you buy our oil, you know exactly where it comes from and who produced it.

🫒 Artisanal Harvesting and Pressing The olives are harvested with state-of-the-art equipment at the perfect moment of ripeness, neither too early nor too late. Within 24 hours of harvesting, cold pressing (below 27°C) preserves all the aromas, fragrances, and nutritional properties intact.

⭐ Certified Excellence Our extra virgin olive oil boasts an acidity of less than 0.3%,well below the legal limit of 0.8%. This parameter testifies to the freshness of the olives and the care taken in the production process.

❤️ Family Passion We are not an industry, we are a family. Every gesture, from pruning to harvesting, from bottling to labeling, is performed with the awareness of creating something special.
