Description

Frantoio Muraglia was founded in Andria, the EVOO capital of Apulia, five generations ago, but family’s patriarch has lived through 460 springs. It is a majestic Coratina varietal olive tree. Antico Frantoio Muraglia’s story starts when Savino senior bought this green giant to make oil. This tree dominates the countryside in the Murgia plateau, an expanse measuring approximately 60 hectares of olive trees. Today, Muraglia EVOO can be found in 54 countries around the world, however, many things remained exactly as they originally were. Starting with an oath to preserve the biodiversity of the agricultural landscape and plants of strategic importance for food, such as olive trees. Muraglia continues to harvest the olives by hand and cold press them in the ancient stone mill preserving the traditions and pursuing the uncompromising quality and genuineness of Italian extra virginity.
