Carta Maria Francesca (Socio Olivicoltore)

In Capoterra, in the province of Cagliari, Carta Maria Francesca operates as a member olive grower, contributing to the Sardegna DOP denomination for extra virgin olive oil. Her work begins in the field, harvesting olives within the island's cultivation area, and then converges into an oil with a distinct profile: pronounced fruity aromas, a bitterness that doesn't yield to softness, and the characteristic spicy sensation recognized by the regulations as its signature. It is the scale of the small grower that gives meaning to this production. The contribution of individual olive growers roots the Sardinian olive oil identity in a network of different hands, each responsible for a portion of the harvest that flows into the common denomination. Behind the label, therefore, there is not an anonymous industry but a fabric of individual contributions, held together by rigorous production standards. The local fruit is thus transformed into an oil that reflects the island's Mediterranean terroir—the warmth, minerality, and light—and brings to the bottle the precise measure of those who cultivate a few plants and know each one intimately.
