My name is Roger Philippe Maurizi, I am 41 years old. I stopped my schooling in 9th grade, to work with my parents who have a lodge in the mountains, work that I continue to do since then during the winter season from January to March depending on the snow cover and from May to the end of September. I really wanted to start farming since my job allowed me to do so. The olive tree was for me an obvious choice. I followed the training to be able to settle, and it is in 2008 that I concretized my dream and thus planted 1244 olive trees, variety ghjermana of casinca on a little less than 4h.
In 2020, at the International Competition in Athens, our olive oil received a double gold medal.
Our olive oil is an extra virgin olive oil PDO, made from olives picked from the tree and selected with care. Cold extracted, this exceptional olive oil will reveal its delicate aromas such as tomato, green grass, almond, pepper and a medium spiciness. It is powerful in taste, which is the undeniable sign of its great quality. It goes perfectly with all types of dishes. In 2020, at the International Competition in Athens, our olive oil received a double gold medal, the result of many years of work.
