- Company details
Since the beginning of the twentieth century, with the official launch of the project in 1938, the Montanaro family has dedicated itself with passion to the land and the art of olive oil making, now reaching its fourth generation and representing a solid benchmark of agri-food excellence in Southern Italy, operating across the fertile and suited lands of Puglia and Basilicata with its headquarters in Palazzo San Gervasio. This company is not just a brand, but a true ecosystem that blends the preservation of ancient farming traditions with the most modern industrial technologies, specializing both in the production of superior quality extra virgin olive oil and in the storage and trading of cereals, legumes, and oilseeds. The heartbeat of the company lies in its ability to harmonize respect for nature's rhythms with technological vanguard, which is why the entire supply chain is strictly monitored starting from the harvest, which takes place directly from the tree at the perfect stage of ripeness, collecting the fruits in small, aerated crates. To prevent oxidation and preserve all the original aromas, the olives are transported to the mill and pressed within a few hours of harvesting; the use of completely enclosed stainless steel machinery and advanced low-oxidation cold extraction systems ensures that the organoleptic properties and precious polyphenols of the fruit remain intact, overcoming the oxidative impact of old stone mills and turning the olive into poetry in every drop. The selection signed by Montanaro 1938 stands out for its ability to tell the authenticity of its terroir of origin, featuring the Coratina Monovarietal Extra Virgin Olive Oil, an intense, bold product with great character, recognized as a "Grande Olio" (Great Oil) in the 2026 Slow Food Guide and awarded prestigious industry accolades for its perfect balance between bitter and spicy notes. This is complemented by the Ogliarola del Vulture Monovarietal Extra Virgin Olive Oil, a prized variety typical of the Lucanian area, which offers a medium green fruitiness on the palate enriched with aromas of fresh almond and pleasant herbaceous notes, alongside a premium line dedicated to the best varieties of Italian legumes and grains, enhanced by innovative, high-value-added packaging. Looking to the future, Montanaro 1938 is actively committed to a circular, smart, and inclusive economy, driven by direct support to the supply chain through sharing know-how with local farmers, protecting biodiversity by developing resource-efficient crops, and pursuing international expansion to spread the culture of Italian green gold across foreign markets, while never forgetting social responsibility and active participation in solidarity initiatives and major industry trade fairs.
