Azienda Agricola Caterina Ferraiolo

Azienda Agricola Caterina Ferraiolo operates in San Pietro a Maida, within the Lametia DOP area that spans nine municipalities in Calabria. Here, extra virgin olive oil takes on an austere profile, measurable even before tasting: acidity never exceeds 0.5%, a constraint that speaks to the discipline of the oil mill more than any label. The color accompanies that sobriety, ranging from pale green to straw yellow depending on the vintage. On the nose and palate, the denomination is recognized for delicate, never exuberant, fruity notes that define a character of measure rather than power. It is in this balance that the meaning of the certification is read: belonging to the protected area is not a commercial sign but a set of technical thresholds to be respected harvest after harvest. Ferraiolo operates within these strict limits, and precisely this rigor regarding low acidity becomes the signature with which this corner of Calabria presents itself beyond its borders.
