Paolo Petrilli is an Italian family-owned farm and producer of organic specialty foods based in Lucera, in the Apulia region. The company was founded in 1988 when Paolo Petrilli began transitioning to organic farming at a time when this production method was still uncommon in Italy. The farm is located on the historic Motta della Regina estate, where it cultivates tomatoes, durum wheat, and indigenous grape varieties, with all raw materials used exclusively for its own production. Particular emphasis is placed on preserving local plant varieties, maintaining low yields per hectare, and harvesting by hand to ensure the highest quality of the raw ingredients. The company's strong connection to the local community is reflected in the fact that much of the processing is carried out manually by workers from Lucera and the surrounding area, helping preserve traditional knowledge passed down through generations. Today, Paolo Petrilli is regarded as one of Italy's best-known producers of artisanal specialty foods, recognized for maintaining complete control over the production process and for its consistent commitment to quality and authenticity.
