Description	Our Millenarium extra virgin olive oil is unique and special, because it is produced from the millennial olive trees that have dominated our “Cannavà” estate since ancient times. They belong to that place, where they express the profound essence of a story told by the wind blowing through their silver leaves as early as the eighth century BC. Our olive culture has its roots in a millennial history that has come down to us through plants that have lived for centuries and millennia. This is our MILLENARIUM Biodynamic Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Each bottle contains the ancestral energy of an experience that has left its mark. Producing this millennial oil means to us saving and safeguarding over a hundred millennial olive trees that are difficult to care for and protect. Producing this biodynamic oil has meant to us seeing our land and our trees as part of a complex universe, understanding the cosmic laws and influences, stories and forces that govern all living beings, planets and moons, trying to create the right interconnection among land, history and sky. Each bottle is unique, marked with a distinctive number, and is the result of a sensory research as this oil is produced exclusively with Ottobratica olives, a native variety. Its medium-intense fruity profile of green-picked olives has a perfect balance. The characteristic scent of the Ottobratica variety has accents of field grass, golden apple and unripe tomato with distant hints of wild thistle. It has an enveloping and vegetal taste, with a harmonious bitter and spicy aftertaste.

Company Description	Mediterranea Foods has been operating in the organic field for over thirty years and for over ten years in the biodynamic sector. Our activities, both agricultural and productive, are located between the wonderful Calabria region and the green hills of Abruzzo region (Italy). In this area the warmth of the sun envelops the fields and crops almost all year round and the fresh embrace of the sea breeze caresses the ancient olive groves of the family farm. The green valleys surrounded by the crystalline waters of the ancient Tyrrhenian and Ionian Seas are the natural setting within which Mediterranea Foods operates. The high quality of the company’s products is the result of the harmonious interaction of different elements peculiar to the territory in which we operate. After a long history of hard work supported by his father Domenico, in the early 90s, Antonino Anastasi, founder of Mediterranea Foods, felt a strong impulse towards change and thus decides to convert the family business into a totally organic production, strongly believing in an approach to agriculture attentive to the anthropic and ethical aspects of production. It was the natural path to follow as the family guidelines and philosophy were already in line with natural production. During our first years of activity we entered the organic market with our extra virgin olive oil, which today still represents our core business. After extensive research and development activities, we now boast 30 years of experience in the organic sector. Thanks to our know-how, we currently produce an excellent range of organic and biodynamic speciality products, made with raw materials, almost exclusively produced by us and free of any preservative and additive, enhancing their taste and quality. We are aware that following organic procedures means adopting a sustainable, transparent and ethical system running through the entire production chain, starting from the fields to the finished product on store shelves. We embrace these values to guarantee an attentive and efficient service through the whole production chain, until our products reach their final consumers. To guarantee such a safety system, every single product, starting from its raw materials, is checked and analysed several times during the production phases in order to avoid any contamination. The concrete result of the scrupulous work are our speciality products, whose pure, natural and exclusive taste represents the Mediterranean style and rich tradition.
