WHO IS TOMASSO CONTE ?
Grandson of an olive grower and lover of my land, returning home was obvious to me. After my studies, I took some time to travel and meet other customs and thoughts, but afterwards, the desire of coming back was pressing.
On the 31st October 2019, I founded Azienda Agricola Tommaso
Conte to persevere in a tradition that belongs not only to my family but toall the civilizations that have occupied our land because here, in my region, we have been cultivating olive trees for 7,000 years.
Through my work, I want to share this feeling of freedom, lightness, and friendliness that fills me at every harvest and I will do so by bringing on your tables an extra-virgin olive oil of high quality, authentic and tasty.
It will take you to the immense greenery of its land, the Gargano, this spur of the Italian boot, bathed by the warm waters of the Adriatic Sea.
THE TERROIR
Located in Puglia between sea and mountains, bathed by Lake Varano, our lands are part of the Gargano National Park and enjoy favorable conditions for the cultivation of olive trees intended for the production of high quality extra virgin olive oils.
This geographical area is home to one of the region's 5 extra virgin olive oil PDOs, the Dauno extra virgin olive oil PDO .
Its microclimates make the success of its oils.
The olives from this region give an extra virgin olive oil with clear and intense aromas with a fruity of medium intensity, delicate flavors and a finish with fine notes of almonds.
OUR CULTIVARS
For our extra virgin olive oils we use a blend of three cultivars present in the geographical area of Gargano in order to offer you a balanced and unique product.
Ogliarola Garganiga
Cultivated since Roman times, this indigenous cultivar is characterized by its intense and crisp aromas with delicate and slightly spicy flavors.
Coratina
Originally from Corato, it is an indigenous cultivar whose bitter and spicy flavors due to its high concentration of polyphenols, bring body and character to the blends.
Leccino
Northern cultivar, it has adapted perfectly to the southern climate. Its aromas are fruity with herbal notes.
Its flavors of artichoke and green apple bring
freshness and liveliness in the blending
