It is not usual for a company to celebrate the territory where it is located more than its own product, especially by making use of a gallery of works that symbolize the history and traditions that that territory represents. For this reason, the original path taken by the Ortore oil mill in Carpino (Fg), which put the cultural vision of the uses and customs of theGargano hinterland to the more properly cultural one of promoting one's own extra virgin olive oil. In full awareness that the final product is, first of all, fruit of identity and values.
Yes, a cultural vision, that of three brothers at the head of the company – Michele, Isabella and Leonarda (in the picture) – which intimately encloses the concept of art, as an element, we are keen to underline it, "which nourishes the body and the mind". And precisely because, like art, extra virgin olive oil can also convey deep emotions and sensations, a perfect marriage develops which, together with Maestro Giorgio Fracchiolla, has been interpreted in an artistic space of the oil mill where furniture and paintings recall the history of Carpino. And so on the walls we find refined canvases depicting a "falcon" in flight overlooking the area of the country to symbolize the watchful eye of the olive grower, and then a "horse" which refers to Federico II so linked to Puglia, therefore the "guitar" instrument that evokes the Carpino in Folk Festival, a great event at the beginning of August dedicated to the rediscovery, conservation and promotion of popular music. It's still "the olive tree" to decree its sacredness in this land, le "Gargano women", true protagonists of the domestic economy, and finally i “sayings and proverbs” referring to the oil, the olive tree, the land of Carpino.
An immersive journey in this territory, with its beautiful and profound suggestions, which then find a natural consequence in the aromas and flavors of extra virgin olive oil, for a "state of the art oil" with which the Ortore oil mill identify and celebrate the green gold it produces. A rich production, destined for the oil industry, but also under its own brand, through a original design consisting of small jars made of ceramicApulian craftsmanship, combined with the typical saddlebag of the place, in homage to theweaving art of Hornbeam. Inside, of course, the fruity extra virgin olive oil Ogliarola Gargano which denotes a perfect balance of bitter and spicy on the palate.
Machine technology innovation Pieralisi it helps to raise the quality of a company where the fourth generation, all female, has also entered, thus expanding the pink connotation and giving continuity projected into the future with a sacred respect for tradition. That tradition to which the many farmers in the area which, conferring the olives year after year, continue to accompany the Ortore oil mill in that path made not only of genuineness and high quality, but of visceral love for one's land.
