Azienda Agricola Belollari e Figli

In Pontedassio, behind the Western Ligurian Riviera, Belollari e Figli keeps the entire olive oil cycle within its walls: harvesting, pressing, and packaging all take place on the farm, with no outsourced steps. The choice falls on pure Taggiasca, the cultivar that defines the Ligurian coastal terraces and yields an extra virgin Riviera Ligure DOP of measured sweetness, with the light fruitiness characteristic of the variety. It's the only path taken here, pursued with a consistency that becomes a production method. The recent renewal of bottles and labels speaks to an attention that doesn't end at the mill: presenting the oil is considered as much a craft as producing it, a way to give recognizable form to a territorial heritage. Visitors to Pontedassio can stop directly at the farm to see firsthand how this monocultivar is born and taste it at its source, amidst the terraced hills that generate it.
