Organic Cru is the name Azienda Olio Ciccolella gives to its aromatic organic olive oil made from the best organically grown Coratina and Ogliarola Barese olives. Organic Cru is a cuvée of Coratina olives, which produce a distinctive, robust olive oil, and Ogliarola Barese olives, known for their mild, soft olive oil. The Organic Cru organic olive oil is extremely well-balanced with a herbaceous-floral scent reminiscent of almond and chamomile, and delicate bitter and spicy notes on the palate, wonderfully suited for raw vegetables, salads and legume soups, as well as fish dishes, white meat dishes, and vegetables. The 250ml bottle is a good size to get to know Organic Cru or to give as a gift.

Ciccolella – Organic Olive Oil from Apulia

The Ciccolella family has owned large estates in the province of Bari in Southern Italy since 1878. With approximately 8,000 olive trees of the Coratina and Ogliarola Barese varieties, the olive groves of Azienda Olio Ciccolella cover a large area between the towns of Giovinazzo and Molfetta, both located directly on the sea, and Terlizzi inland. Here, in the north of Terra di Bari, beats the heart of Apulian olive production.

For over 4 generations, the Ciccolellas have passionately dedicated themselves to cultivating olive trees, harvesting olives by hand, and gentle pressing in their own mill in Molfetta, followed by bottling in dark, aroma-protective glass bottles, to create a 100% Italian extra virgin olive oil. The olives are grown and harvested according to organic guidelines and pressed within 6 hours. With a dynamic and clean taste, it is an extremely balanced oil blend with delicate bitter and spicy notes.

Under the leadership of Giuseppe Ciccolella, who has expanded the knowledge of the Apulian oil tradition with technological innovations, the company became fully organic in 2021. "From day one, we have committed ourselves to applying agricultural techniques that are oriented towards respecting the environment," Giuseppe explains the company philosophy. Thanks to a photovoltaic system that allows them to be autonomous for 9 months a year, the Azienda only purchases clean energy during the three months of milling to cover the increased demand. The olive pomace is returned to the fields as organic fertilizer. The packaging that protects Olio Ciccolella is also sustainable: a dark, recyclable glass bottle, a recyclable aluminum closure, and a paper label make it possible to avoid the use of plastic in all production processes.
