Excellent Apulian Olive Oil Directly From The Mill

The De Carlo olive mill near Bari dates back to 1598 and is one of

the oldest in Italy. Today the De Carlo family grows various varieties

of olives on centuries-old trees on 130 hectares of land. In order to

maintain the high standards of the mill, olives are harvested and

crushed “within a few hours”.

At the De Carlo company shop in the small town of Bitritto, visitors

can taste and purchase different types of award-winning extra virgin

olive oil, including one organically produced oil. We chose the

elegant Favolosa, plus the delicate, fruity and balanced Peranzana,

both monocultivar varieties and delicious.

Visitors can also acquire olives, vegetables, bruschetta spreads,

pasta sauces, or dried tomatoes, all produced and packaged at the

company. The baby artichoke hearts in extra virgin olive oil may be

the best I have tasted: small and delicate, no artificial flavor at all,

very little vinegar, just pure flavor. All vegetable products come in

100% De Carlo extra virgin olive oil.
