Azienda Agricola Iemma Clelia

Azienda Agricola Iemma Clelia is located in Gizzeria, within the Lametia DOP area, where nine Calabrian municipalities converge around one of Southern Italy's most characteristic extra virgin olive oils. Clelia works with a single denomination under stringent parameters: an extra virgin olive oil with a maximum acidity of 0.5%, marked by the seasonal transition from green to straw yellow. In the glass, the oil reveals a delicate fruitiness and subtle complexity that the regulations attribute to the terroir of this strip of Calabria. Here, adherence to the standard is not an abstract constraint but the way the place takes shape in the bottle. The company opens its doors: through tastings, visitors directly encounter the production approach, from olive to finished oil. It's worth scheduling a visit to Gizzeria, because it is by tasting on site — alongside those who produce it — that the delicacy of this Lametia can be fully understood, in all its progression from unripe green to mature yellow.
