Extra virgin olive oil is far more than a simple ingredient. For centuries it has been at the heart of Mediterranean cuisine and one of the most authentic symbols of Apulian culture. Every drop reflects the sun, the wind and the extraordinary biodiversity of a land devoted to olive growing.

To produce true extra virgin olive oil, the olives are harvested at their ideal stage of ripeness and processed within a short time. Cold extraction, carried out under carefully controlled temperatures, preserves the oil’s aromatic profile while enhancing its freshness, balance and natural complexity.

The result is a golden-green olive oil with aromas of fresh olives, Mediterranean herbs and delicate vegetal notes. On the palate it offers a harmonious balance of fruity, bitter and peppery notes that define a premium extra virgin olive oil.

For ORTE, extra virgin olive oil is more than a seasoning. It is the common thread running through much of our collection: enriching our preserves, completing traditional recipes and expressing the agricultural identity of Baia dell’Orte and Puglia.

Every bottle is created with the same dedication that defines all our specialities: carefully selected ingredients, meticulous processing and the desire to bring an authentic product to the table that elevates even the simplest dishes into a truly Mediterranean experience.
