The forest of Olio Canelli

Gli alberi di ulivo sono il nostro asset fondamentale per fare un prodotto di eccellenza. Come azienda agricola biologica siamo attentissimi alla natura e dei suoi equilibri. Con questa iniziativa vogliamo rendere la nostra attività ancora più sostenibile piantando nuovi alberi dove serve di più nel mondo, con lo scopo di aiutare a ricreare gli ecosistemi che stiamo lentamente perdendo.
