The history that binds our family to the land is now many years long, a long journey that
reaches the present day.
For generations, we have been dealing with olives of Taggiasca quality. Our olive groves are
all located in the
municipality of Diano San Pietro, in the hinterland of Diano Marina, Liguria, where only
olives of the Taggiasca
cultivar are grown. We have about 2000 century-old trees of the Taggiasca cultivar,
distributed over 6 hectares of
terraced land, the so-called “fasce”.
Nestled amidst olive groves is our Agriturismo Cà di Ughi, surrounded by a green
and peaceful setting.
In our area, the olive harvest is still done in the traditional way, by hand, partly because
of the peculiarities of our
countryside. Filomeno, Tiziano and Marino take care of the tree-trimming and Carmen of the ground
picking of the fruit
on the nets, which are then taken to the oil mill on the same day where they are transformed into
oil. Pressing and
processing are carried out cold, to guarantee the best organoleptic, nutritional and
conservation properties.
Thanks to the winning combination of soil, water and climate, the Taggiasca olive is a unique
product, imitated though
never equalled. Aromatic and fruity, with a harmonious taste, it is widely used both consumed
naturally, raw or in
brine, and in cooking.
Its fame is now recognized internationally, as it enriches the dishes of the Mediterranean diet.
There are many Ligurian
dishes based on Taggiasca olives, in particular stewed meat or fish, such as Ligurian stewed
rabbit and brandacujun and
cundijun.
