From the producers:
‘Olio Guglielmi has been producing extra virgin olive oil in Puglia, and more precisely in Andria, since 1954. The 200 hectares of land where the olive groves are form an integral part of not only the economic but also the social culture. 

This olive oil is from a range called ‘Le Monocultivar’, created to reflect the territorial identity of the brand. 

Each oil is a single variety of Coratina, Ogliarola and Peranzana and is pressed within two hours of harvesting. The result is an excellent quality extra virgin olive oil that speaks of the terroir from which it comes.
