Azienda Agricola Damiano SS

On the steep terraces around Chiusavecchia, in the hinterland of Imperia, Azienda Agricola Damiano SS cultivates olive trees within a single denomination, Riviera Ligure DOP. This is the realm of Taggiasca, a cultivar that finds the necessary mildness to express itself in the Ligurian maritime microclimate: the resulting extra virgin olive oil is sweet and fruity, with that coastal lightness that the disciplinary protects across an area of 186 municipalities. The cycle is entirely completed on the farm, where the olives are harvested and milled without external processing, ensuring that the link between the terraced land and the bottle remains direct and legible. Here, the choice of a single protected origin becomes a craft of precision, season after season, on the same variety. The farm opens its doors during the week: it's worth the trip up to Chiusavecchia for a tasting at the oil mill, to sample freshly pressed oil, and to observe how slope, human touch, and microclimate translate into the character of each bottle.
