Fattoria Ambrosio: The Vivid Flavours of Cilento
We are honoured to welcome Fattoria Ambrosio from Campania (Italy) in the 2025-26 collection. Fattoria Ambrosio’s adventure began in 1938 in the heart of Cilento, one of Italy’s most beautiful national parks. In recent years Massimo and his team have become a symbol of excellence in the world of extra virgin olive oil. Their estate comprises thirty hectares of organic olive groves (subdivided into single-variety plots) that surround a 19th-century tower and the modern mill.
In the collection you will find their balanced and elegant Alfa and the vibrant Crux as well as their 6-bottle tasting set.

Out of passion for olive oil and organic farming, the De Palma family has been steadily developing its estate over the past two decades to become a well-established name in Apulia. This bag-in-box 3L format including faucet-like dispenser is ideal for high-volume users and families. The blend has balanced fruitiness that is ideal for everyday use.
This mouth-blown blue tasting glass was made according to the guidelines for professional extra virgin olive oil tasting glasses defined by the International Olive Council (COI/T.20/Rev.2 – 2020).
Its cobalt blue colour helps the taster’s eye not be biased by the colour of the oil during its assessment, as colour is not a quality parameter but can naturally biaise perception.
Its thin rounded base allows for gently warming the oil in the palm of the hand to reach the outside body temperature, which is the ideal temperature for tasting extra virgin olive oil.
The smaller top rim allows to easily trap the volatile flavours of the oil with the other hand during warming process, for a more efficient nose intake in the first part of the tasting routine.
