Frantoio Muraglia

Frantoio Muraglia is in Andria, at the foot of the Murgia plateau, one of the great olive oil towns of Apulia. The Muraglia family has been making oil here for five generations, from Coratina, a native variety naturally rich in polyphenols.

The olives are picked by hand and cold-pressed, and the family follows every step from the grove to the bottle. Savino Muraglia, who came back to Andria in 2006 after a career in finance, relaunched the mill and took its oil to dozens of countries.

The oil is known for its containers: colorful ceramic jars shaped and painted by hand by artisans in Terlizzi, a few kilometers from Andria, often in limited editions designed with Italian artists.
