DeCarlo Tenuta Arcamone is a bold, uncompromising expression of southern Italy at its most powerful — a premium, award-winning organic extra virgin olive oil crafted exclusively from Coratina olives grown in the sun-drenched heart of Puglia. This is not an oil that whispers; it speaks with authority. Born from a single estate and a single cultivar, Tenuta Arcamone captures the raw energy of Coratina — a variety revered for its naturally high polyphenol content of 949 mg/kg, structure and longevity. For a very high polyphenol oil, this oil is very approachable. Meticulous organic farming, early harvesting and precision milling ensure every drop delivers intensity, balance and unmistakable character, making this oil a reference point for lovers of robust, high-phenolic EVOO.
Aroma
Elegant yet commanding, the nose opens with layered vegetal aromas — fresh field herbs, wild chicory and cut grass — followed by lifted notes of mint, rosemary and sage. Subtle hints of green almond and artichoke add depth and complexity, creating a beautifully composed aromatic profile.
Flavour
On the palate, Tenuta Arcamone is structured, vibrant and full of personality. A pronounced yet refined bitterness builds steadily, perfectly balanced by a long, assertive peppery finish that lingers at the back of the throat — the unmistakable signature of a high-polyphenol Coratina oil. Powerful, but never aggressive, this is balance through strength.
Guided by a deep “olive oil culture,” the Ciccolella philosophy balances centuries-old tradition with forward-thinking sustainability: pesticide- and herbicide-free farming, hand-harvesting, and rapid milling within hours of picking.
915 mg/kg polyphenols.
This is elegance with power.
On the nose, it delivers an immediate explosion of green aromatics. Freshly cut grass and wild greens lead the way, followed by bold notes of green almond and artichoke. As the aromas open, layers of wild chicory, thistle, rosemary and black pepper emerge, building depth and complexity.
On the palate, Cagnara organic is pure energy. The fruit is intense and commanding, driven by Coratina’s signature structure. The bitterness is strong, persistent and beautifully defined, never aggressive, always purposeful. The finish is long and unmistakably spicy — a clean, peppery burn that lingers and confirms both freshness and high polyphenol content.
Structured. Sophisticated.

Azienda Agricola De Carlo is a historic family producer based in Bitritto, Puglia, crafting extra virgin olive oils for more than 400 years. Rooted in a philosophy of short supply chain and zero-impact production, De Carlo controls every step from grove to bottle, blending centuries-old tradition with modern, gentle milling to protect flavour, quality and the environment. Their oils are a pure expression of Puglia — honest, balanced and made in harmony with the land.
Fonte di Foiano is a family-run olive oil estate located in Bolgheri, Tuscany, where precision farming and meticulous milling are used to express the true character of the land. Guided by a philosophy of early harvesting, gentle extraction and full control from grove to bottle, Fonte di Foiano produces vibrant, structured extra virgin olive oils that reflect Bolgheri’s coastal influence — bold, aromatic and unmistakably Tuscan.
Olio Ciccolella is a family-owned producer led by Giuseppe Ciccolella, representing the fourth generation of olive growers since 1878. The estate lies in the heart of Puglia, across 30 hectares in the province of Bari — between Molfetta, Giovinazzo and Terlizzi — home to around 8,000 olive trees. Guided by a deep “olive oil culture,” the Ciccolella philosophy balances centuries-old tradition with forward-thinking sustainability: pesticide- and herbicide-free farming, hand-harvesting, and rapid milling within hours of picking. Olives are cold-extracted using a state-of-the-art, two-phase system to protect flavour, polyphenols and nutrition, while a zero-waste, solar-powered mill ensures the land is preserved for future generations — because, as the family believes, the land is only borrowed from their children.
