The cultivation of the Dolce Rossanese olives, denominated under Bruzio "Colline Ioniche Presilane" (the protected geographic area) where introduced and put into production in our region by Greek cultivators back in 1000 BC. In the course of the past centuries it has lived to become of relevant cultural and economic importance for our province “La Provincia Cosentina”.
The land of cultivation is mostly in the hills, with total exposure to the sun. Our specific protected area is denominated “Colline Ioniche Presilane”, as it translates into “The Ionic Pre-Silaean Hills”. The equidistance from the sea and “La Sila” (the mountainous plateau and protected historic region here in Calabria) favors an excellent microclimate for the aging and growth of our olives.
Having an acidity of 0.2% with a maximum of 0.3% it is cold pressed in the first 24 hours after it is handpicked off of its branch, giving it a full rich scent and taste - what we would call here “un odore e sapore fruttato intenso”. Our olives are DOP (Di Origine Protetta) to our region of Cosenza, being fully produced from the same olives, un-mixed with any other variety of olives, with certification of direct Organic Biological provenance by the State of Italy’s Organic food board ICEA.
Our olive oil has always been cultivated by our family for more than five generations with love and dedication. It is a traditional responsibility for every member born to our family (even if migrated) to return and continue our heritage, picking our harvest of olives every year together, from the same three to four hundred year old trees our ancestors planted and returned to. Every couple of years a member expands the family’s land further, planting new trees, adding to our past generation’s hard work, following the same methods and advancing to others.
A common goal we all share is to always achieve an even more historic continuity for the coming years to follow, expanding our own family tree’s branches into the future.
