Ciccolella Coppadoro - Coratina is a monocultivar extra virgin olive oil made exclusively from 100 % Coratina olives grown and hand-harvested in Puglia’s sun-drenched groves. It is intense and bold, with a vivid green colour and powerful sensory profile featuring explosive aromas of freshly cut grass, borage, and hints of almond and artichoke.
On the palate it delivers energetic fruitiness, marked bitterness and a long, peppery finish typical of the Coratina cultivar, making it a classic expression of Apulian olive oil. The oil’s structure and high polyphenol content reflect careful early harvesting and cold extraction within hours of picking, preserving its aromatic complexity and nutritional quality.
Coppadoro is ideal drizzled raw on bruschetta, crudités, soups and grilled dishes, where its intensity can shine without overpowering other ingredients. It has been recognised with awards from respected guides, underscoring its standing among premium Italian extra virgin olive oils.
Producer
Ciccolella is a family-owned extra virgin olive oil producer based in Apulia, Southern Italy, with olive-growing roots dating back to 1878. The estate cultivates approximately 30 hectares of olive groves, primarily planted with Coratina and Ogliarola Barese varieties, two cultivars that define the regional olive oil identity.
Production combines long-standing agricultural tradition with modern cold-extraction technology, ensuring that olives are milled shortly after harvest to preserve freshness, aromatic clarity, and polyphenol content. The range includes both monocultivar and blended extra virgin olive oils, characterized by green, herbaceous aromas and notes of artichoke, almond, and freshly cut grass. Coratina-based oils display pronounced bitterness and a persistent peppery finish, while Ogliarola selections offer a softer, more delicate profile.
The company places emphasis on traceability, sustainable farming practices, and careful packaging choices. Over the years, Ciccolella has received recognition from international olive oil guides and competitions, reinforcing its reputation within the premium segment of Apulian extra virgin olive oil production.
