Its history
The farm, placed in the heart of Otranto land, in Caprarica di Lecce, belongs to a
family with a centuries-old oil culture and tradition.
Greco family oil history is so ancient that even today, the modern farm oil mill, recently restored, is placed in the historic centre of the village, just a few meters from the family-owned ancient underground oil mill.
For over 30 years, first the father Oronzo Greco and then his son Pantaleo have embraced with intense feeling the practice of organic farming in all its production phases and agronomic practices, including the olive milling. Even the subsequent bottling of the oil is carried out without using any synthetic chemical products.
The produced oil has a fundamental feature that few can boast: raw materials and transformation processes are exclusively farm-owned. This is possible thanks to the extensive farm lands.
All these characteristics have led Greco family to directly enter the market, providing the end-consumer with an absolutely genuine produce. All passion, expertise, and seriousness dedicated to olive cultivation are now encapsulated in every single bottle of organic extra virgin olive oil ‘Nachiro’.
Dr. Greco passion is linked to his specific professional expertise; indeed, besides being an agronomist, he is a specialist in olive growing and olive oil technology.
