Azienda Agricola Adriano Casazza

In Santa Margherita Ligure, on the steep slopes that plunge towards the sea, Azienda Agricola Adriano Casazza cultivates the Taggiasca olive within the DOP Riviera Ligure, an origin spanning one hundred and eighty-six municipalities. This cultivar dominates the olive-growing landscape of this coastal strip and dictates the oil's profile: a recognizable sweetness and delicate fruit notes, attributes born more from the microclimate than from human intervention. Here, the work is inseparable from the shape of the territory. Casazza maintains terraced cultivation, an ancient and necessary practice to contain erosion on rocky slopes battered by the Mediterranean wind, where stone walls support the soil and simultaneously warm it. It is a demanding geography, made of stony slopes overlooking the Ligurian Sea, which imparts its clearest imprint to the extra virgin olive oil. In this single denomination, the company embodies an idea of heroic olive growing, where the steepness is not an obstacle to be corrected but the very condition that defines the product's character and justifies the effort.
