Living in Sabina means being part of a millennia-old tradition that renews itself each year with the olive harvest. We encourage you to share this experience with us.

For us, this special time is a ritual that involves the entire community, blending tradition and modernity to produce our extra virgin olive oil, a true treasure that represents the essence of our land and our roots.

The Harvest: A Time for Community

Every autumn, as the first cold arrives, the olive trees of Sabina are ready for harvest. It’s a moment we eagerly anticipate. The fields come alive, with families and farmers working side by side, spreading nets under the centuries-old olive trees. Although there are modern tools today to facilitate the process, we still like to do it with the same care passed down by our ancestors.

The harvest is much more than an agricultural activity: it’s an opportunity to strengthen our bonds with the land and with each other. Every olive we pick is a promise of quality, and we know that by treating these fruits with respect, we can produce the unique and precious oil that represents us.

Milling: The Heart of the Process

Once harvested, the olives are taken to the olive mills of Sabina, places that hold a special value for us. Here, the process of transforming the fruit into liquid gold begins. Our region is dotted with olive mills, some of which still use traditional methods, while others employ modern technologies. However, in both cases, the goal remains the same: to obtain a pure and authentic oil that reflects the flavor and quality of our land.

When we enter an olive mill during milling, the smell of freshly pressed olives fills the air, bringing back memories of childhood and family. It’s an emotion we experience every year, and it never ceases to captivate us. Sabina’s olive oil, with its fruity taste and low acidity, is the result of a meticulous process where every detail matters.

The Culture of Olive Oil: A Tradition Deeply Rooted in Our Land

In Sabina, olive oil is not just a product, but an integral part of our culture. The numerous olive mills that dot our region are a testament to a tradition that withstands the test of time. Each mill tells a story, and every producer puts a part of themselves into the oil they create. We are proud to share this tradition with anyone who visits Sabina. For us, opening the doors of our mills means introducing people to the heart of our land and the passion that drives us.

During the milling season, it is possible to experience this unique journey firsthand: visiting the mills, observing up close the process of transforming the olives, and most importantly, tasting the freshly pressed oil on a classic bruschetta. A taste that tells the story of who we are, our work, and the love we pour into every stage of production.

Sabina’s Olive Oil: A Guarantee of Excellence

Thanks to its ideal climate and fertile soil, Sabina is one of the best regions in Italy for the production of extra virgin olive oil. Our oil, protected by the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), is a guarantee of quality and authenticity. Each bottle holds the unique flavor of our land and the dedication of those who cultivate it.

Sabina’s olive oil is much more than just a condiment: it is a symbol of our identity, our history, and our community. Every year, with the olive harvest and milling, we celebrate our land and its richness. We invite everyone to discover Sabina, visit our mills, taste the freshly pressed oil, and share with us the passion for this tradition that unites us.
