The Cucco olive variety, native to the Chieti region<\/u><\/em> and its neighboring towns, including Ripa Teatina and Francavilla al Mare, holds a unique dual-purpose distinction, serving both as a source of oil and as a table olive.<\/p>\n

Historically, it played a vital role as a nutritious sustenance source in the area, deeply ingrained in the local culture.<\/p>\n

However, in 1956, a devastating frost struck the region, claiming the lives of a substantial number of Cucco olive trees, including thousands of Cucco plants.<\/p>\n

These casualties led to their replacement with more manageable olive varieties. Even today, Cucco presents challenges in cultivation, primarily due to its early fruit drop and susceptibility to olive fly infestation, which, if left unchecked, could jeopardize the quality of the oil produced.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, with meticulous attention and dedicated effort, it remains possible to produce exceptional oil from the Cucco variety.<\/p>\n

We took it upon ourselves to restore 1400 Cucco plants from a state of total abandonment, nurturing them back to full productivity.<\/p>\n

All our Cucco olive plants are cultivated using the Polyconic Vase method, ensuring their optimal growth.<\/p>\n

In a testament to the enduring importance of Cucco, it has held the designation of a SLOW FOOD since 2019.<\/p>\n

This year, we proudly present the 2022 Olive Oil Campaign, featuring our Cucco variety in a dark glass bottle.<\/p>\n
