Lamantea

In 1950 the Lamantea family bought its first olive groves in the countryside of Bisceglie, in the San Felice area, a few kilometers from the Adriatic coast. In 2003 the family closed the circle, taking the oil from the tree to the bottle under its own name.

Today Mario Lamantea, with agronomist Giuseppe Quercia, runs about 15 hectares of groves planted with three varieties: Coratina, Ogliarola and Nocellara. The oils have been recognized by Gambero Rosso, Bibenda, Flos Olei and Slow Food.

Lamantea is also known for its bottles: decorative designs inspired by Apulian majolica, lace and mosaics, created with artists from the region. They make the oil a gift as much as a pantry staple.
