Oleificio la Selva

Where the oil is born, a story blossoms

Between the Selva di Laterza and hands that know how to wait.

There is a bridge connecting Laterza to its greenest soul: the Selva. Here, thirty years ago, Patrizia and her husband turned a dream into an oil mill. At first it was just a bold idea, it seemed almost crazy. Then it became a true story, made of harvests, of hands scented with olives, of nights lit up imagining a new future.

Today, Oleificio La Selva is more than a place of production: it is a family that welcomes, it is a tale that becomes taste, it is an oil that tastes of home and land. Between tradition and innovation, each bottle is an invitation: to slow down, to listen, to reconnect.

Savour the taste of well-being.

Our oil

And the patience of one who has never been in a hurry.

From the juice of the olives comes extra virgin olive oil. True goodness needs nothing else: it all starts with a good harvest straight from the tree, careful processing of the olives and excellent preservation of the oil.

We produce extra virgin olive oil with the awareness that every drop is a responsibility. Our carefully chosen and processed crops tell the story of the land like no other language can.

 

We offer monovarietal and multivarietal oils, designed to express the purity and complexity of Apulian olives. Alongside these, a line of aromatised oils with a black cap: delicate, intense, surprising.

Its flavour envelops, recalling the serenity of a lit fireplace. Our EVO is conjugated only with the verb gustare, at all times, in every way, finite and infinite, pronounced by the mouth, the tongue, the lips, which is music that leads back to the knowledge of the peasants, to the water and the sun of Apulia.

Cultivation

Laterza is renowned for its centuries-old manual harvesting of olives, a traditional method that ensures quality extra virgin olive oil.

Extraction

The crusher, with its dual motor and counter-rotating grid, gently crushes the olives to obtain a more intact oil with fewer peroxides

Product

The oil is packaged with the same care as the production, using elegant bottles or Laterza ceramics.
