MANTENERA FARM: AN EXQUISITE BLEND OF TRADITION AND INNOVATION IN THE WORLD OF OLIVE OIL

In the heart of the picturesque municipality of Tricarico, nestled on a hilltop at 460 meters above sea level, lies the Mantenera farm. Founded in 2014 by Andrea Subelli, a Milan native in search of a life change, Mantenera has quickly established itself as a beacon of excellence in the production of internationally acclaimed extra virgin olive oils.

With a sprawling expanse of 4 hectares and 500 olive trees, including several centuries-old specimens, the Mantenera farm is a haven of organic and uncontaminated olive production. Uncompromising in their commitment to quality, the Mantenera farm has garnered numerous accolades for their exceptional oils.

Their dedication to organic farming practices has earned them the prestigious Slow Food Secular Olives Presidium certification, while their innovative olive grove management techniques ensure a minimal carbon footprint.

By eschewing mechanical processes in favor of manual labor, the farm reduces CO2 emissions significantly. Additionally, the strategic grassing methods employed by the farm promote biodiversity, conserve water, and prevent soil erosion

 The Mantenera farm boasts two distinct labels, each offering a unique and exquisite oil. The Mantenera Biologico label presents an organic oil crafted from hand-picked Coratina and Leccino olives. This medium-intensity oil exudes a robust green fruity flavor, striking a perfect balance between bitterness and spiciness. Its exceptional quality has garnered international recognition, earning the farm several prestigious awards.

For a truly exceptional and exclusive experience, the Mantenera farm presents the Secular Mantenera label. This extraordinary oil is derived from the oldest olive trees of the Majatica and Ogliarola varieties, preserved under the Slow Food Presidium.

With distinctive notes of thistle and a fruity aroma reminiscent of black olives, this oil offers a delicate and refined flavor that complements even the most exquisite dishes. Not only does it please the palate, but it also contributes to the conservation of biodiversity, showcasing the farm’s commitment to sustainability.

In addition to their remarkable products, Mantenera goes the extra mile in providing exceptional services to its discerning customers.
