Olio Gaeta (The Lawyer’s Evo Oil)
DITTA TOMMASO GAETA
I am Tommaso Gaeta, a young entrepreneur who wants to combine: history, flavors, tradition and genuineness of our beautiful Puglia, “The Lawyer’s Evo Oil” was born from the love and passion of my ancestors for nature and olive trees, which over time has become experience, culture, tradition and the search for excellence.
There are scents, images and memories of our childhood that remain indelibly etched in our memory and in our soul and that influence our choices and our lives.
My childhood was marked by the harvest seasons.
June was the harvest with the golden colour of wheat; September the harvest with the scent of must; November the harvest and milling of the olives with extra virgin olive oil, our gold, that flowed fragrant and flooded the air.
This is why I framed my Law Degree parchment and launched myself into this wonderful adventure in the world of agriculture.
The brand of my company is OLIO GAETA – “The Lawyer’s Evo Oil” and it is evocative of my studies. The headquarters are in Orta Nova (Foggia), in the lower Tavoliere della Puglia, where agricultural land, a modern storage center and offices are located.
From the Field to the Olive Oil Mill
The excellence of our EVO oil is the result of work carried out in synergy between nature and man.
Nature has given us a microclimate and a soil favourable to the cultivation of olive trees with the production of olives such as the Coratina cultivar, the Leccino cultivar and the Peranzana cultivar, which allow us to obtain a very fine evo oil.
The human being, then, added experience and love to create a product of excellent quality.
The olives are harvested by hand or with the help of olive harvesters, selected and processed according to the classic method of cold pressing within six hours of harvesting.
The fruits, in fact, are pressed with stone mills to obtain a homogeneous paste, which is then processed in very modern continuous cycle plants that ensure maximum hygiene and authenticity.
