Our company
The history of our Oil Mill
Four generations united by the common thread of tradition, coherence of values and reputation. This is the story of our family, this is the story of our mill L'Acropoli di Puglia.
In a world where everything changes and runs quickly, we have consciously taken a different direction: we have chosen to give value to quality, to respect the teachings of our grandparents, master millers, to protect the biodiversity of our landscape, safeguarding the olive trees.
Even today, the olives are harvested by hand in our lands between Martina Franca and Crispiano, to be transformed, after just 24 hours, inside our underground mill, the same one used by our grandparents since 1889.
Guardians of quality for four generations

stone mill and innovative vision.
Stone against stone, granite against granite: our oil is obtained simply like this, without compromise, with an ancient stone mill and a rigorously cold pressing.
Closing the circle of a controlled supply chain production, which finds strength in the past to look to the future, is bottling, which we always take care of within our company.
This is what we learned from our grandparents. Today, to this knowledge, our generation adds an ethical and at the same time innovative vision, an ability to work on international markets, a deep awareness and sense of responsibility towards our land.
From this dedication, from the hard work that sees us engaged every day, with passion and professionalism, from the love for this precious fruit, an extra virgin olive oil of the highest quality is born, which maintains all its olfactory and nutritional characteristics intact. Today as yesterday. For more than 100 years.
Growers
We grew up in the shade of an olive tree: from 1889 to today our family has cultivated and cared for hundreds of trees, many of which are centuries-old, in the heart of Puglia.
This ensures particular attention in the olive harvest, which still today is done using traditional methods, before the olives reach full ripeness.
Because only by starting from a quality raw material can we obtain an excellent Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Manufacturers
Our added value is in having our own semi-underground mill: this guarantees immediate milling of the olives, within 24-36 hours, thus preserving all the beneficial properties of the Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
A continuous search for quality that is also found in the choice to apply cold pressing, which guarantees a product full of those polyphenols that are so important for health and beauty.
Bottlers
The production chain of Extra Virgin Olive Oil ends inside our company: a goal that cost us hard work, but that has fully repaid the efforts.
In fact, our olive oil is bottled internally, so as to reduce contact with air – the oil's bitter enemy – to a minimum during all phases.
There are 2 last steps left: a dark bottle to reduce the damage of light and a label that clearly tells the story of our Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
