About Us
Our land. Our philosophy.
Baia dell’Orte is a natural estate of around 120 hectares, located at the easternmost point of Italy’s Adriatic coast, between Punta Palascia Lighthouse and the historic town of Otranto. Situated within the Regional Natural Park of the Otranto Coast, it is home to one of Puglia’s most authentic landscapes.
Crystal-clear waters, Mediterranean scrubland, fertile soils and the mild Adriatic climate create ideal conditions for growing vegetables, cereals and aromatic herbs with a truly Mediterranean character.
Since 2021, the ORTE project has been dedicated to the sustainable enhancement of this unique landscape by restoring farmland and preserving its traditional rural heritage. Here, nature still sets the rhythm of the seasons and inspires every decision we make.
In Baia dell’Orte we cultivate carefully selected ingredients that are transformed with great care to preserve the authentic flavours of Puglia. Every product is born from respect for the land, traditional craftsmanship and the desire to tell the story of this remarkable place through genuine, timeless flavours.
Every season follows the rhythm of nature. The Adriatic Sea, the sun and the wind shape the character of our crops and give every harvest its unique quality and authenticity.
We believe in agriculture that respects the land and protects local biodiversity. For this reason, we cultivate with care, harvest at the perfect stage of ripeness and process many of our ingredients within just a few hours of harvesting, preserving their aromas, colours and flavours.
ORTE is where nature, tradition and craftsmanship come together. Every specialty has one simple purpose: bringing to the table an authentic experience that tells the story of Baia dell’Orte and the heart of Puglia.
