Azienda Agricola Carlo Siffredi

In Lucinasco, in the hinterland of Imperia, Azienda Agricola Carlo Siffredi features the Taggiasca olive as its undisputed star. For over twenty-five years, Carlo has been reclaiming abandoned olive groves in the Ligurian valleys, bringing back into cultivation areas that would otherwise be lost in a territory shaped by centuries of olive growing. It's a patient work of landscape restoration, even more so than production. This dedication gives rise to the Riviera Ligure protected designation extra virgin olive oil, the sole reference in their catalog, pressed from olives harvested on terraces that descend towards the sea. The profile is typical of the variety: minerality and a delicate, never overwhelming fruitiness, which reflects the reserved character of this rare cultivar. The oil thus becomes the synthesis of a dual movement, between coast and inland valleys, between terraces overlooking the water and inland slopes. The farm is open to visitors who wish to understand how Ligurian olive oil tradition takes shape in the oil mill: a tangible opportunity to follow the olive's journey, from the terraced tree to the bottle.
