Azienda Agricola Costantino Mariangela

In Maida, in the Catanzaro area, Azienda Agricola Costantino Mariangela cultivates ten thousand Carolea olive trees, many of which are centuries old. From these trees comes the organic extra virgin olive oil Lametia DOP, also recognized as a Slow Food Presidium: cold pressing takes place in the estate's mill within four hours of harvesting, a short interval that preserves the nutritional properties and the distinctive fruity and delicate aroma. The activity doesn't stop at the olive grove. The organic and sustainable approach follows the seasonal cycles of the Calabrian land and extends to arable crops, orchards, and vegetable gardens, creating a range of products that revolves around the same principle of respect for the soil. In this context, Lametia oil serves as a benchmark: it encapsulates the olive-growing vocation of the area and the connection to a well-identified local variety. The speed of processing and the choice to remain within the denomination's boundaries make each vintage a faithful interpretation of this corner of Calabria.
