The producer
In 1947 Tommaso Valente pressed his first harvest by lamplight, on the hills above Bisceglie. His grandchildren tend the same trees today, with the same hands and the same patience. Three generations, one place.
The house does not talk about the oil first. It talks about the mark. Every bottle carries a single gold brushstroke — the sign of a gesture repeated season after season for three generations. It is proof that a hand came through here, that there was care, that nothing was rushed and nothing left to chance. The brushstroke is not decoration. It is a promise, and the seal and the impressed number on each bottle carry the family's name with it.
The working philosophy is precision before perfection. Perfection is a moving target; precision is a discipline, practised every single day of the harvest. The olive is picked at the exact hour it turns. It is cold-milled within a few hours, never above 27 °C. Nothing is added and nothing is corrected — what the land gives is protected, and then signed.
Two expressions: Intenso, sharp with artichoke and pepper, and Delicato, softer, for fish and raw vegetables.
