Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Is your olive oil DOP certified?

Yes, our extra virgin olive oil is DOP Aprutino Pescarese certified, a Protected Designation of Origin that guarantees controlled origin and quality according to rigorous standards. Our oils have also received recognition from Gambero Rosso.

What is the difference between the olive oil varieties?

We cultivate several single-variety oils, each with unique characteristics:

  • Borea (Leccino) - Delicate and harmonious, with notes of fresh almond and artichoke. Ideal for light dishes and salads
  • Recta (Dritta) - Medium fruity with notes of cut grass and green tomato. Perfect for traditional Abruzzese cuisine
  • Majia (Coratina) - Intense and full-bodied, rich in polyphenols with artichoke and bitter almond notes. Excellent raw
  • Zephiro (Leccio del Corno) - Light medium fruity with almond and green apple notes. Great for pinzimonio

All oils are available in 500ml and 3-litre formats, plus tasting sets.

How is your olive oil produced?

Olives are harvested exclusively by hand to preserve the integrity of the fruit. Processing takes place within 24 hours of harvest through cold extraction using a two-phase continuous cycle system. This method ensures the highest quality and organoleptic properties of the final product.

How should I store the olive oil?

To maintain the organoleptic properties, we recommend storing the oil in a cool, dark place, away from heat sources and direct light. The ideal temperature is between 14 and 18 degrees. Once opened, preferably consume within 3-4 months. Unopened oil is best consumed within 18 months of bottling date.

Snail Slime Cosmetics

What are the benefits of snail slime for the skin?

Snail slime is an extraordinary natural ingredient that contains:

  • Glycolic Acid - Gentle exfoliation, stimulates cell renewal
  • Collagen - Improves skin elasticity and firmness
  • Elastin - Keeps skin toned and prevents wrinkles
  • Allantoin - Soothing and regenerating action
  • Vitamins and Peptides - Nourishment and protection

Thanks to these active ingredients, our cosmetics have regenerating, antioxidant, nourishing and soothing properties.

Are the cosmetics suitable for all skin types?

Yes, our snail slime cosmetic line is formulated to be suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Snail slime is a natural ingredient with soothing and regenerating properties that adapts to every skin's needs. For particularly reactive skin, we always recommend performing a small patch test before use.

How is the snail slime extracted?

The slime is extracted from our snails raised using the Cherasco Method, the international standard for heliciculture. The snails live outdoors 365 days a year in natural enclosures, are fed exclusively with pesticide-free vegetables, and extraction is carried out gently and respectfully.

Snails & Food Products

How are the snails raised?

Our snails (Helix Aspersa Muller) are raised following the Cherasco Method, the international standard for heliciculture. This includes:

  • 100% natural feeding with pesticide-free vegetables
  • 365 days outdoors in natural enclosures
  • Zero pesticides used in farming
  • Natural growth cycle with controlled hygienic-environmental conditions

How should I store the food products?

Jars of natural snails, sauteed, arrabbiata, mushroom and vegetable snails can be stored at room temperature in a cool, dry place until the expiration date. Once opened, store in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days.

Live purged snails must be stored in the refrigerator and cooked as soon as possible after receiving them.

What are the nutritional properties of snails?

Snail meat is an excellent food: low fat content (mainly polyunsaturated), high protein percentage and highly digestible. It is an excellent source of nutrients and suitable for a healthy, balanced diet.
