ESSENTIAL OILS

Libero Gatti's organic productions are the fruit of his innate love for these lands and the eco-friendly crops with which this excellent producer from Calabria makes his productions. A direct link with local traditions and artisanal workmanship, accompanied by a philosophy that aims to promote the territory and use organic ingredients.

All raw materials are certified BIO, the entire manufacturing process is carried out in external laboratories certified BIO. As for fresh fruit, at least for local fruit, processing takes place within the same day: in the morning the fruit is picked from the trees and in the afternoon the processing takes place. The harvest takes place when the product is at the first veraison, that is when it has reached the right ripeness and is richer in mineral salts and vitamins. This already represents an element of distinction from industrial production, in which the products are matured in cells as they are harvested at half maturity.

THE PRODUCTIONS:

To guarantee our oil quality and healthiness, we have adopted a production line based on sustainability and rigorous compliance with the organic farming regulations. We harvest our olives, even at the end of September at the first veraison, from plants grown starting from the Copanello cliffs up to 200 meters above sea level. To guarantee maximum integrity to the fruit and avoid any type of stress on the plant, we carry out the harvesting exclusively by hand. The olives, packaged in ventilated boxes, after being defoliated, are pressed within a few hours of harvesting.

The finished products are packaged in external Calabrian laboratories certified BIO, technologically advanced systems that produce with the ancient recipes created by Libero Gatti respecting the ancient tradition

HISTORY:

Gatti Libero by Giovanni Gatti with the registered trademark Libero Gatti was born in 2005 by purchasing the Gatti Libero company. Giovanni Gatt, son of Libero Gatti, continues the family agricultural business with a history of over one hundred years, started by Baroness Elvira Marincola Cattaneo who donated her farm to her son Libero Gatti in 1955.

Libero Gatti, an ORGANIC farm of over 25 hectares, in one of the most evocative views of the Copanello cliffs in the municipality of Stalettì, Giovanni Gatti's family with his Japanese wife Miho Maruyama and his son Gianluca, has decided to dedicate themselves to the maintenance of the ancient olive groves and to collect his family's legacy to better enhance the production of "green gold", one of the most important fruits for nutrition.

THE NATURE:

The olive grove planted in the Bourbon era about 200 years ago obtained organic certification in the early 70s thanks to the work of Libero Gatti who made the farm not only a place of production but at the same time a natural park maintaining all the elements of widespread naturalness such as dry stone walls, protection of the Mediterranean scrub forest at the edge of the olive grove, and naturalistic management of the land with natural grassing. With the implementation of strict naturalistic protocols, the company is in fact the extension of the SIC area of ​​the "Copanello" Site of Community Importance with its cliffs and marine park.

The company is certified organic by the Soil and Health control body for Europe and also for Japan with the JAS certification.

THE CERTIFICATIONS:

The Libero Gatti agricultural company correctly applies organic farming techniques and is regularly subjected to checks to certify the production obtained using the organic method.

Suolo e Salute is the control body that certifies organic production for both Europe and Japan JAS (see certificates).
