L’olio del Nonno Salvatore is an extra virgin olive oil named after Grandpa Salvatore, the founder of the family and a tradition of olive growing that has lasted for generations. This oil stems from a deep connection with the land and olive groves in southern Italy, where native olive varieties are carefully nurtured.
It stands out for its authenticity and pronounced character, making it a favorite choice for those seeking a traditional flavor. The oil is produced by cold pressing olives that are handpicked at their optimal ripeness, preserving the maximum aromas and nutritional value of the fruit. The taste features notes of freshly cut grass, green apple, and mild spicy hints, while the finish is pleasantly pungent and slightly bitter, indicating a high level of polyphenols and product quality. L’olio del Nonno Salvatore is not just olive oil, but a story about family, tradition, and dedication to every detail in production.
It is intended both for everyday use and for culinary delicacies that require a premium ingredient, contributing authenticity and depth of flavor to every dish.
Producer
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.
