Az. Agr. Il Mandrone di De Giuseppe Grazia

In Vieste, on the spur of the Gargano, Az. Agr. Il Mandrone di De Giuseppe Grazia produces `Dauno DOP` extra virgin olive oil within a protected area that encompasses 61 municipalities of Capitanata. It is Puglia's northernmost olive growing, and it is recognizable in the glass: shades ranging from green to yellow, a clear fruitiness, and those subtly hinted spicy and bitter notes that signal a lively, untamed oil. The denomination imposes a discipline that accompanies the olive from the tree to the mill, and the farm adheres to it as a grammar of the territory. The result is an extra virgin olive oil that bears the imprint of Foggia's geography, suspended between the Gargano sea and the sun-drenched hinterland. More than a simple condiment, Il Mandrone's `Dauno` is read as one of the most distinctive voices of southern olive growing, where the unusual latitude becomes an integral part of the product's identity.
