Extra virgin organic olive oil with an intense and full taste and a very compact body, typical of a very high standard quality oil. It is intended for people who demand a definite “presence” to the taste of oil, for those who love real Apulian characteristics.

The Farm

Our farms are located between Brindisi, Grottaglie, Leporano and Taranto, areas which are characterised by a climate and soil that make them perfect for olive oil production. With the renovation of our large olive oil estate we have created an organic oasis where the traditional Apulian cultivars Ogliarola and Coratina can be found alongside Leccino, Frantoio, Cima di Melfi and Nocellara del Belice.  Other prized varieties such as Maurino, Moraiolo, Cipressino, Fs17 and Picholine complete our output. Our plants has been set up in accordance with modern standards and intended for mechanized management. The use of adjustable-frequency vibrators for harvesting allows the olive, which never touches the ground at any point, to arrive, still whole, at the mill where it is very quickly crushed. The extraction of the oil happens continuously: stainless steel, the only material with which the paste comes into contact, guarantees maximum hygiene and lower temperatures ensure the quality and long shelf life of the product.

Name and logo

Zucàro is the name of the first plot of land that belonged to the Cavallo family at the beginning of the 19th century; it is the place where the origins of our story of farmers and businessmen can be found. Zucàro marks the starting point for the strands of a story that reaches us. The strands of our story, as if in a premonition of what is yet to come, are found in the name of this magical place that looks out over the sea.  Zucàro is, in fact, the ancient name in the local dialect for the rope maker, the craftsman who would patiently weave together strands of twine to be used by peasants, olive mill workers, fishermen or anyone else who needed it. Our logo is, in fact, a small rope, like those worked on by the zucàro. We have stretched this rope, holding it gently at one end, so that it envelops the coastline exactly where the Zucàro land meets the sea.
