The Product

The extra virgin olive oil Trullo Line stands out for its precious handmade and hand-painted majolica jugs. The Trullos are customized with a stylized design that recalls the profile of the Trulli (typical Apulian houses) and the bright colours of the sun, oil and sea of Puglia.

The extra virgin olive oil is the classic one, produced with olives harvested in the olive groves in the province of Bari in Puglia. Suitable for those who live and respect nature and are always looking for balanced flavours and enveloping aromas.

The olives, Ogliarola e Coratina, are harvested by hand and processed within 24 hours of harvesting.

THE TASTING

Green in colour, when produced, it evolves during maturation to a straw yellow with green reflections. The aroma has an unmistakable scent of olive with hints of artichoke and green almond. Soft and balanced on the palate, it is characterized by fresh herbs and sweet almond tones.

FOOD PAIRINGS

“Il Classico” is an oil with a delicate taste that can be used in the kitchen to flavour any dish without altering the characteristics of the raw ingredients. It is ideal on boiled or roasted fish preparations fried seafood, but also with sauces and roasted meats.

The Company

The San Carlo company is a family affair. It was founded and carried forward over the centuries by the various generations of the San Carlo family. We are talking about centuries because the notarial deed certifying the purchase of land suitable for producing olives dates back to 1598.

In 1668, the family purchased the first oil mill, which is still available and considered one of Italy’s oldest. Today, it has been restored and is protected by the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage and Fine Arts due to its great value.

Continuing along the path of the history of the De Carlo family, we arrive at 1900, when the oils produced became known worldwide and were awarded multiple prizes in Italy, France and England.

In 1980, the company passed into the hands of Saverio and Grazia De Carlo, who focused everything on quality and enhancing taste by introducing innovative production techniques.

Today, in addition to very high-quality oils, the De Carlo family produces a series of pickles and savoury spreads ideal for daily use in the kitchen.
