An olive grove is not just a place of cultivation – it is a space where nature and tradition exist in harmony. Here, rich biodiversity, native and rare olive cultivars, and daily work guided by the rhythm of the seasons come together.
The grove is home to a wide variety of plant and animal species, contributing to its resilience and the preservation of natural balance. Each olive cultivar has its own characteristics and value, while the work – from pruning to harvest – is rooted in knowledge passed down through generations.
In this small area, natural diversity, tradition, and daily care for the olive tree are seamlessly intertwined.
