produttori — Terlizzi · Puglia
In the Bari hinterland, where the Apulian countryside stretches between century-old olive trees and new groves, Frantoio Perilli (olive mill) keeps alive an oil-making tradition dating back to 1947. Terlizzi, in the heart of Terra di Bari, is where every olive becomes oil with a family's care.
The rows of Frantoio Perilli bring Coratina to the fore, a native cultivar of Terra di Bari known for its bold character and high polyphenol content. It is the flagship monocultivar of an oil-making family that, since 1947, has built its identity around a single olive: recognisable, deeply rooted, hard to imitate.
The land never lies about the intentions of those who work it. Frantoio Perilli has invested in planting fifteen thousand new olive trees: a gesture that looks far ahead, binding the company to its territory for generations to come. Alongside the oil, the mill also brings Apulian gastronomic specialities into the field — from turnip-top patè to tomato patè — broadening the story of regional tradition.
On an oil mill's shelf, bottles speak of choices made. Frantoio Perilli has chosen organic certification for part of its production and Terra di Bari DOP as a mark of origin. Two labels that are never earned by chance: they demand protocols, checks, and constant consistency between field and bottle.
From the cellar to the table, with no middlemen: Frantoio Perilli sells its oils and specialities directly. The page tells the whole story.
