It is the fourth generation of a family of olive growers and millers who today takes care of the Gaspare Sarullo oil mill, which extends in a hilly area, in the territory of Ribera (AG). The history of the company that extends in a hilly area, is intertwined with the history of a family that has been transmitting its love for the land since the early twentieth century and that today is committed to consolidating the culture of quality EVO oil, not only through production, taking care of biodiversity, environmental sustainability and using the most modern extraction technology, but also through training and information. The company that takes care of all the phases of the olive-oil production chain, cultivates about 40 hectares of family land, also according to organic farming regulations and with absolute respect for the environment. The variety of plants grown, many of which are centuries-old, is mainly Biancolilla, which produces a medium-light fruity oil that has received numerous awards in Italy and abroad. The mill is equipped with two systems with a “two-phase” extraction system without adding water (Decanter Multi Fase 8 Leopard Pieralisi) which leads to both significant water and energy savings and also environmental protection since it does not produce vegetation water. A proreactor, the revolutionary machine for kneading the olive paste, also allows for greater quality in less time, guaranteeing a higher content of polyphenols.
In this way, a tastier olive-oil is obtained, richer in polyphenols and more stable over time. All the systems present in the company are also powered by clean energy from renewable sources: zero emissions thanks to the photovoltaic system that produces the necessary electricity. In the premises of the ancient oil mill of the great-grandparents, experiential activities related to oil tourism and events aimed at spreading the olive-oil culture are organized.
