But bell'Arte!

extra virgin olive oil

In Italy, olive oil isn't a product. It's a culture. It belongs on the table like bread and wine—simple, honest, essential.

Anyone who knows good oil knows: It doesn't begin in the bottle, but in the tree. With ancient olive groves, with sun, wind, and patience. With manual labor and dedication. And with the conviction that less is more.

Muraglia works exclusively with nature, not against it. Cold-pressed, early harvested, single-varietal. No blends from anywhere, no industrial products, no empty labels.

What matters is the taste: green, grassy, ​​clear. With bite. With depth.

You can't tell good oil by the bottle. It's by the first drop on a piece of white bread. And by the moment afterward, when all you can say is: "Sosì deve essere."

01

The real Muraglia boss

Shall we go to Apulia? To Andria? Here, on the plateau, the real Muraglia boss has stood for almost 500 years: a gnarled Croatina olive tree. It has probably seen everything in its time, but it would never have made it out into the world on its own. For that you need at least a testa dura - a visionary stubborn head. One like Savino the Elder has. He founded the Frantoio Muraglia.

02

A quality product

Savino's son, Vincenco, is now the master of oil. The hand-picked olives have always been pressed between granite stones in the family's traditional house, but the greatest enemy of olive oil is oxygen, and so a modern, closed extraction process ensures that contact with oxygen can be almost completely eliminated. A complete obsession with quality and unconditional devotion to the terroir, nature, biodiversity and the will to lend a hand there; that is Muraglia.

03

And the ceramic bottles?

They are made and painted by hand on site, in the traditional way, and anyone who tries to get Savino junior mad accuses him of whitewashing his bottles as a marketing gimmick. Savino shakes his head: "They're not just pretty. Clay bottles are the perfect container for olive oil. They are 100 percent opaque and provide excellent insulation," he says, and wishes you lots of fun with them, with a wink.
