Azienda Agricola Torre dei Paponi

Torre dei Paponi cultivates Taggiasca olives and their local selections on the terraces of the Ligurian coast, where dry-stone walls are the very condition of cultivation. From these, it produces the sweet and fruity extra virgin olive oil that defines Riviera Ligure DOP, a denomination spread across one hundred and eighty-six municipalities along the Ligurian arc. The character of the Taggiasca—delicate, slightly bitter, with soft fruit notes—is what the company brings to the bottle, remaining faithful to the profile imposed by the coast. An ancient mill, now fully restored, revolves around the production, hosting a hospitality program aimed at those seeking direct contact with the land. Here, one doesn't just buy oil: visitors can tour the olive grove, taste, and learn about local gastronomic traditions. For those passing through the Riviera, it's an opportunity to see firsthand how the terraced slopes and a single cultivar translate into an oil with an unmistakable character—and to stop at the mill to taste it at its source.
