From the producers: ’From the earth, the primordial and alchemic element, comes this ‘Ex Terra’ extra virgin olive oil, an oil shaped by the dreams of man. We chose it because the archaic roots of Ex Terra oil suggested by its name, are indeed evoked by its fruity taste of almond and field grass, very aromatic and deep to the tastebuds.

The oils of the Sabino Leone company come from the Italian region of Puglia. We are a family-run company focused on quality and innovation. Our 200 year old Coratina trees, the living library of the farm's history, helps us reflect on the past and rejoice in the transformative nature of our work.

Picking the green fruit from the olive tree at harvest begins our process of oil tailoring: the specific efforts made to enhance the characteristics of the oils and the emotions these oils resonate. Their high quality extra virgin olive oils are the work of reflection, craftsmanship, and the harmonious cooperation between the Leone family and our land.'
