Everything we do represents us

Elodia e Valeria

In our company, the past meets the present in a natural flow of stories and events. Always in love with her land, Elodia Severini has enhanced the land inherited from her father "Don Mario Severini" by expanding the cultivation of olive trees. She transformed 12 hectares of the hill called "Boccafolle", at 380 m above sea level, into a flourishing plantation characterized by the presence of different cultivars: Carolea, Nocellara del Belice, Roggianella and numerous other typically Italian cultivars. Her daughter Valeria continues the business started by Elodia with passion and dedication.

Our Olive Groves

Tenuta Severini extends for approximately 44 hectares and the Boccafolle hill with its 12 hectares, at 380 meters above sea level, represents the main nucleus of the company. There are as many as 4800 olive plants of different cultivars: Carolea, Nocellara del Belice, Roggianella and numerous other Italian species, including Coratina. Carolea is the typical cultivar of the Calabrian territory, present in the area since the 8th century BC. and for this reason, often defined as "Calabrian". The winds that caress the Boccafolle hill protect the plants from diseases caused by humidity. Surrounding it are fig and grapefruit trees and a grove of oak trees to guarantee the production variety. The estate called "Le Ferrieri", closest to the town, is located a short distance from Boccafolle. The trees of our Roggianella live here, a native variety typical of the area which gives our oil a strong territorial imprint.

Soil and Plant Care

Caring our land we promote the growth of wild herbs, protecting the land from erosion and stimulating greater fertility, through the accumulation of organic substances determined by the practice of semi-permanent grassing. The constant presence in the field guarantees continuous monitoring of the health of the fruits and their integrity, allowing us to define the most suitable moment for harvesting based on the stage of ripening of the fruits and the characteristics of the oil we want to obtain. Our goal is produce an oil whose organoleptic properties best express the aromas of the cultivars from which they are obtained and whose compositional characteristics guarantee a truly healthy and nutraceutical product, worthy of being considered among the best Extra Virgin Olive Oils.
