The company is located in the heart of one of the most important olive growing regions in Italy and the world, the Land of Bari. It has always had a strategic position for producing and trading extra virgin olive oil. Olearia Desantis has a history dating back to the 1950s, when Giovanni Desantis started producing olive oil in the family mill. In the 60s and 70s, the company began packaging olive oil and in 1976, it purchased its first industrial plant. In 1987, thanks to the market’s favor, the company “Olearia Desantis S.p.A.” bought a new, technologically advanced plant to enhance the typical product of the South: olive oil. With the advent of the Single European Market, the company has experienced considerable growth while remaining faithful to the traditions of peasant culture to ensure the future of olive oil. Today, Olearia Desantis S.p.A. covers an area of 20,000 square meters, of which 6,000 are covered and is confirmed as one of the major local realities in its sector and among the most significant at the national level.
