Le Tre Colonne is a family-run farm located in the area of Giovinazzo, not far from the Adriatic coast in the Puglia region, one of Italy’s most important olive-growing areas. The estate is led by Salvatore Stallone, a second-generation olive grower who combines ancestral knowledge with modern agronomic and technological practices. Their olive groves stretch across the fertile and sunny terrain of northern Bari, where the climate, coastal winds, and sea moisture create ideal conditions for cultivating varieties such as Coratina, Ogliarola, and Peranzana. Production takes place in their own modern mill, located directly on the estate, allowing olives to be pressed very quickly after harvest—often within just a few hours. This preserves the oil’s natural aromas, phenolic compounds, and nutritional quality. Le Tre Colonne pays particular attention to sustainability: environmentally friendly plant protection methods are used, irrigation is done via drip systems, and both wastewater and olive pomace are recycled as part of a circular production model. Le Tre Colonne’s mission goes beyond simply producing oil—they strive to preserve the identity of their land, transmit the culture of olive growing, and promote a healthy lifestyle. For the Stallone family, olive oil is not just a product—it’s a daily philosophy of life.Expand

Olio Intini is a family-owned producer of high-quality extra virgin olive oil based in Alberobello, in the Puglia region of southern Italy. The company is currently run by Pietro Intini, the fourth generation in the family tradition.

The range includes both monovarietal and blended oils—including organic versions—characterized by high polyphenol content, resulting in pronounced bitterness and pungency, as well as a complex flavor profile. Technologically, Intini blends traditional methods with modern innovation: they use up to four different crushing and kneading systems (malaxation), chosen based on the variety and ripeness of the olives. The oil is extracted in an oxygen-free environment and bottled with inert gas to preserve its aromatic and nutritional properties. The olives are harvested by hand, and the oil is brought from the groves to the mill within a short time frame (under 12 hours), all of which contributes to the exceptional expression of the Puglian terroir.Expand
