Pietrasanta
Where the sea meets tradition
About the producer and family:
Azienda Agricola Pietrasanta is a family-run farm based in Carovigno, where the family cultivates around 30 hectares with over 4,500 olive trees, alongside vegetables and traditional local crops. Their work is rooted in a direct connection to the land — growing, harvesting, and transforming their own raw materials into extra virgin olive oil and a wide range of preserved specialties.
The farm focuses on native Apulian varieties such as Ogliarola, Cellina di Nardò, and others, producing oils and preserves without additives or shortcuts. Their commitment to quality has been recognized by initiatives like Slow Food, particularly for products linked to the Torre Guaceto area, including the traditional Fiaschetto tomato.
Every stage — from cultivation to processing — is handled with care, combining traditional methods with modern techniques like cold pressing to preserve purity and flavor. The result is a range of products that reflect both the richness of Salento and the family’s long-standing dedication to authentic, land-driven production.

About the land around Pietrasanta:
Pietrasanta is located in the countryside of Carovigno, in the heart of Salento, a sun-drenched region between the Adriatic Sea and the inland plains of southern Italy. The farm sits on gently rolling hills overlooking the protected coastal area of Torre Guaceto, where sea breezes and intense Mediterranean light shape the rhythm of agriculture.
The climate here is typically Mediterranean — hot, dry summers and mild winters — allowing olives, tomatoes, and other crops to ripen fully while maintaining concentration and natural flavor. The soils, rich in minerals and shaped by centuries of cultivation, support resilient plants and traditional varieties deeply rooted in the territory. This landscape, defined by sun, wind, and proximity to the sea, gives Pietrasanta’s products their distinctive intensity and authenticity.
“A land where sun, sea, and tradition come together to shape every harvest.”
