The story and values of our farm
Azienda Agricola Galantino Roberta is rooted in Puglian tradition, where a respect for the land and agricultural work guides every stage of production.
To tell our story is to tell the story of a family that, for over seventy years, has continued to grow olives with dedication, consistency and care for a natural heritage that deserves protection.
Located in Trinitapoli, amid the plains of the upper Tavoliere, the farm cultivates 13 hectares of olive groves with around two thousand trees, the fruit of generations of careful tending and thoughtful variety selection.
Over time, our day-to-day work has evolved, incorporating modern techniques while preserving the essential principles of artisanal tradition.
Our roots and family identity
The farm’s story began in the 1950s with Nonno Vito, who devoted his life to olive trees and their cultivation.
The experience gained over the decades has been carefully passed down, becoming the starting point for developing a farm that today brings together expertise, hands-on skill and environmental awareness.
With the arrival of the younger generation, management passed to Roberta and Giuseppe, who chose to build on their inheritance, updating it with farming techniques that give greater consideration to the local area and the quality of the finished product.
The family identity remains at the heart of the way we work: every process, from caring for the trees to harvesting, is approached directly and responsibly, with choices that preserve the relationship between people and the environment. The knowledge built up over the years is now complemented by up-to-date expertise, creating a solid and consistent production model.
Our production philosophy and the varieties we grow
A balance of tradition, innovation and sustainability
Our production philosophy is based on the belief that quality extra virgin olive oil begins with taking care of the olive groves.
Our farming practices respect the plants’ natural rhythms, fostering a balance that allows us to harvest fruit rich in sensory qualities.
Hand harvesting preserves the integrity of the olives, while immediate pressing retains their aromas, freshness and polyphenol content.
With sustainable farming in mind, the farm favours targeted, non-invasive practices to protect both the soil and the surrounding environment.
The result is a wholesome product shaped by the seasons and the distinctive qualities of the varieties we grow.
The olive varieties that define our oil
Azienda Agricola Galantino Roberta’s olive varieties include some of the most representative varieties of Puglia and southern Italy: Coratina, Carolea, Nocellara, Ogliarola and Peranzana.
Each variety helps shape the sensory profile of our multi-varietal extra virgin olive oil, distinguished by its balance, aromatic intensity and complexity of flavour.
Coratina brings structure and character; Carolea adds roundness; Nocellara lends vegetal freshness; Ogliarola introduces smoothness; Peranzana enriches the blend with fruity notes.
Together, these varieties create a harmonious, versatile oil that is suitable for a range of culinary uses.
An authentic connection to Puglia
Telling our story also means describing our connection with Trinitapoli and Puglia, an area with a long history of olive growing.
The microclimate, soil composition and sun exposure all play a decisive role in the final product’s quality.
The farm has chosen to make the most of these elements while retaining a strong connection to the local landscape.
The olive groves are not only a source of agricultural production but also a testament to the cultural and rural heritage that defines the region.
Each bottle of extra virgin olive oil embodies the result of a journey that begins in the soil and reaches the table with consistency and authenticity.
