Located in the Salento plain, the Azienda Agricola San Martino, producer of extra virgin olive oil, extends with its 6000 olive trees in the countryside of Mesagne and Torre Santa Susanna in the province of Brindisi, places which preserve the precious centuries-old olive trees and which boast a thousand-year experience in olive growing.
The first planting of olive trees by the Sanasi family dates back to three centuries ago.
Today those same olive trees represent the roots of the company, which keeps alive the family history of five generations of producers of extra virgin olive oil, independently managing all phases of the production process, from cultivation to cold pressing in the company's mill up to the bottling and sale in the company shop, thus guaranteeing the traceability of the product and its uniqueness.
Raffaele Sanasi, a young engineer and owner of the Azienda Agricola San Martino, dedicates himself entirely to the family business, following in the footsteps left by his father Francesco, and before that by his grandparents Raffaele and Francesco, both olive growers and oil millers. With passion and dedication, he personally selects the best varieties of cultivars, plants new trees, takes care of the old olive trees and equips the company with all the mechanical means necessary for the production of extra virgin olive oil.
Raffaele dedicates the utmost attention to all phases of the transformation, preferring techniques that allow the nutritional and physical characteristics of the oil to be kept unaltered and cultivating the thirty hectares of land without the use of herbicides and pesticides. Being producers of extra virgin olive oil is not, in his case, just a job but a real mission: preserving centuries of work and knowledge and giving them lifeblood every day.
Cellina di Nardò, Ogliarola salentina, Coratina, Leccino, Frantoio, Pendolino, Picholine, Peranzana and Nocellera del Belice are the cultivars present in the company. From these varieties originate monocultivars and blends of the highest quality.
The flagship of the San Martino Agricultural Company is represented by the modern certified organic company oil mill for cold extraction, built by Raffaele in the same building that housed the old oil mill managed by his grandfather and where he spent much of his childhood, without knowing that as an adult he would have made the same gestures, would have ground the olives, bottled the oil, and labeled the bottles.
Living the land and its fruits, shaping it with respect and attention, hearing the voices of the ancestors resound among the fragrant foliage of the olive trees, taking care of the centuries-old trees, recognizing them as homes of memories and efforts, planting new ones and accompanying them in their slow growth.
This is the Azienda Agricola San Martino: a majestic family tree, an invisible line that keeps together, after centuries, fathers and sons moved by the same love for the land, who seem to say to each other from time to time "I'll continue now" .
The organic extra virgin olive oil produced by the San Martino farm is the result of the experience and work of a family. An oil of excellence capable of satisfying the most demanding palates and which contains, in its soft wheat colour, the aromas and flavors of the Puglia of the past.
