ANCIENT TRADITION
EVEN IN THE NAME
Masserie di Sant’Eramo has ancient origins related to the prestigious local farms “Masserie”.
Our brand name Masserie di Sant’Eramo is evocative of the typical and prestigious rural buildings, the Masserie in fact, which in the history of our land were the places of residence of aristocratic and upper middle-class families: the great landowners.
It was here that economic life took place, mainly agricultural, aimed at the production, processing, and preservation of the products of the land. Today the Masserie, thanks to their noble history, have become charming spaces dedicated to tourist hospitality, representative of that special soul of our region.

CENTURIES-OLD OLIVE TREES THE SYMBOL OF OUR LAND
Olive trees with their beauty and charm, conveyed by the curved and knobby trunks, represent the history of our land through their thousand-year-old presence on our territory.
OUR EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
Masserie di Sant’Eramo Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the prime pure ‘juice’ that is extracted from the olives, without undergoing any chemical treatment whatsoever.
Masserie di Sant’Eramo Extra Virgin Olive Oil is Cold Extracted. This means that olives are pressed only once, within hours of being picked, and that we do not resort to heat to increase yields. Only this process ensures a very low acidity level, a high nutritional content and that the flavour of these premium olives are kept intact, resulting in an extra virgin olive oil of wonderful fullness.
At Masserie di Sant’Eramo we have complete control over all phases of production.
How is our extra virgin olive oil being made?
Masserie di Sant’Eramo Extra Virgin Olive Oil is made from handpicked olives. Careful picking ensures that the olives are picked at the right degree of their ripeness. Of course, it takes a lot of work to pick olives by hand but this is the best harvesting method known as “brucatura” as it results in the least bruising of the olives.
Our extra virgin olive oil is produced from selected olives, mainly Coratina, Ogliarola Barese, and Peranzana cultivars. Only olives that pass our rigorous scrutiny are pressed to become Masserie di Sant’Eramo Extra Virgin Olive Oil. The olives are pressed within few hours of being picked to ensure that their bouquet and flavour are kept intact.
As for extracting our extra virgin olive oil we use the Continuous Combine System that links the advantages of both methods: the time-honoured and the modern one.
The result of the time-honoured method with granite millstones for milling the olives is a milder extra virgin olive oil.
The advantages of the modern method known as Continuous System are the following: the olives are not manipulated, thus ensuring high hygienic standards; the stainless steel equipment prevents oxidation due possible contact with the atmosphere.
Using a certified quality system means creating standards to be respected on the basis of voluntary international norms. We succeeded in achieving these standards thanks to careful attention to detail at every step of the production chain.
STORAGE
Our extra virgin olive oil is kept in stainless steel tanks located in the basement at 10mt. under street level, in temperature-controlled rooms. This is the best system to preserve its quality.
PACKAGING
It is bottled in dark green glass to protect it from light and safeguard its excellent nutritional properties. Its distinctive label, the ergonomic design of its bottle, the exclusive drip-proof twist cap, all contribute to the appeal of this premium-quality product.
We keep everything under control to guarantee the quality of our products.
The elegant label, the ergonomic bottle design and the screw cap with exclusive drip-catcher, help to emphasize its unique character.
