Severini Estate,
Cultivation in full respect of Nature
About us
The passion for the countryside and the love for extra virgin olive oil, intended not only as a condiment that enhances and enhances the flavor of foods but above all as a healthy and nutraceutical food, have led Elodia Severinia to change the course of her life . We are in Calabria, in Mottafollone, a small village in the province of Cosenza with around a thousand inhabitants, between the Pollino National Park and the Piana di Sibari. In 1992, with the collaboration of her husband, Guglielmo D'Auria, general of the Carabinieri, Elodia transformed twelve hectares of the hill called "Boccafolle" into a flourishing olive plantation, with approximately 4800 plants of different varieties, thus starting the production of an extra virgin olive oil. excellent quality virgin olive oil. Her daughter Valeria D'Auria continues with dedication and enthusiasm the work started by Elodia, transferring the skills to her children Marianna and Guglielmo who represent the company's future and who, with their innovative ideas, are contributing to a new company orientation, aimed towards environmental, social and governance sustainability.
Our dream
Our dream is to enclose all the flavor of our Calabria in a bottle and to share it, taking it around the world.
"Tradition and innovation inspire our work"
Elodia Severini
Our harvest begins in October, when the olives have not yet reached full maturity and the fruits, still green, are richer in biophenols and able to best release the typical scents of the Calabrian cultivated varieties we grow, generous with typically Mediterranean aromas .
The harvest takes place with mechanical shakers that do not damage the fruit, guaranteeing us to collect intact and healthy olives, ready for transport to the mill which takes place within a few hours, avoiding the triggering of any fermentation process and degradation of the fruit and the oil molecules contained therein.
