A Land That Tells Its Story Through Olive Oil

Seen from above, Puglia is a true mosaic: the silvery green of olive groves, the golden yellow of wheat fields, the deep purple of ripe olives. Every color tells a story that comes together in a bottle of extra virgin olive oil—a symbol of tradition, territory, and artisanal passion.

The Gargano and the Peranzana: Freshness and Character

On the Gargano promontory, the wind carries the scents of Mediterranean vegetation and the sea. Here, cultivars such as Peranzana, Coratina, and OGLiarola Garganica produce an intensely fruity EVOO, with aromas of green tomato and freshly cut grass.

The Peranzana—today a symbol of the Tavoliere plain—likely owes its name to Provençal settlers who introduced it in the 17th century. From “Provenzale” came Peranzana: a piece of history that still thrives in the Dauno fields.

Terra di Bari and the Coratina: The Queen of Cultivars

Heading south into Terra di Bari, you find the homeland of Coratina, the most representative cultivar of Puglian olive oil. Bold, robust, and rich in polyphenols, it offers grassy aromas and a perfect balance of bitterness and spiciness.

As early as the Middle Ages, oil from the Murgia was considered precious—not only as food but also as a valued product in Mediterranean trade. Today, Coratina remains a true symbol of strength and character.

Northern Salento: Ogliarola and Cellina di Nardò

Between Brindisi and northern Salento, olive trees absorb the sea breeze. The cultivars Ogliarola Salentina and Cellina di Nardò produce a smoother, more harmonious oil with notes of almond and ripe fruit.

This delicate extra virgin olive oil pairs perfectly with simple dishes such as raw vegetables with olive oil (pinzimonio), baked fish, and rustic traditional recipes.

Terra d’Otranto: Authentic Flavor of the South

At the southern tip of Puglia, in Terra d’Otranto, centuries-old olive trees bend to the wind without breaking. Here, the cultivars Ogliarola Leccese, Leccino, and Cellina di Nardò create an oil with rich, embracing flavor, with hints of wild herbs and fresh almond.

This is the authentic taste of frise salentine (traditional barley rusks), grilled fish, and other humble dishes that have become culinary treasures of the Mediterranean diet.

Tre Regine: A Golden Thread Uniting Puglia

From Daunia to Salento, every part of Puglia has its own character: the strength of the north, the intensity of the heart, the grace of the hills, and the warmth of Italy’s heel. This richness is not only gastronomic but also historical and cultural.

With Tre Regine extra virgin olive oil, this mosaic becomes a reality. Each artisanal product safeguards biodiversity and tradition. Preserved in elegant Puglian ceramic jars, it is more than a condiment—it is an experience: a golden thread uniting past and present, flavor and health, beauty and authenticity.
