FRANTOIO OLEARIO CASSESE SRL

The Cassese Oil Mill, owned by Mr. Giovanni Cassese, is a company that has been operating for four generations in the Villa Castelli area, producing an extra virgin olive oil of excellent quality. The company has been prestigiously present for years in the Apulian olive and oil panorama, but also in the national and international one, and is a flagship of the agricultural, industrial and commercial economy of Villa Castelli, which is considered the Oil Capital of this vast area of Puglia, halfway between the South-West Murgia and the Alto Salento. The Cassese Oil Mill is characterized primarily by the special methodology of processing the product, which is based on the very tight and rigorously controlled timing between harvesting with very high-tech machines and cold pressing, which never exceeds 8 hours between one operational phase and another. Particular attention is then paid by the Cassese Company to the method of oil conservation, which occurs through the rigorous use of underground stainless steel tanks, to guarantee the conservation and enhancement of the organoleptic properties of the extra virgin olive oil produced. The Company has always placed care and attention first for every detail of the production chain, from the cultivation of the land and the treatment of the plants to the harvest, and from the cold pressing of the olives to the conservation of the oil, with the primary aim of always obtaining a superior quality EVO product. The commitment and sacrifice of the entire Cassese family, who has always treasured the teachings and the legacy received in the olive and oil sector, have long been focused on the modernization of the plants and production methods, with the sole aim of delivering an exquisite and genuine product to customers and of rewarding themselves professionally and morally for the commitment put in. For Giovanni Cassese, therefore, the watchword, constant and almost obsessive, is to pursue, achieve and promote always in new and more important commercial areas the high quality of its EVO product, distinguished by the "ISO 22000" and "Puglia Quality Product" certification, without sparing the necessary and often significant economic investments aimed at improving the Company's production, and putting in a lot of personal and family energy. At the same time, through the marketing of his very tasty nectar, he aims to promote at a regional and national level also the beautiful territory of Villa Castelli, which includes within it the presence of many precious and suggestive peculiarities of an environmental, architectural and archaeological nature, which make it unique in the eyes of visitors.
