PWT Italia’s ties with the Gargano are growing stronger thanks to a new collaboration with Olio della Valle. Located near the sea of Vieste, this agricultural company transforms the love of cultivation, the care of the olive groves and the attention to the olive harvest into a high quality extra virgin olive oil.
Olio della Valle is also a welcoming place where guests can experience an authentic experience among the centuries-old olive trees. In the farmhouse, inside the estate, it is possible to discover the authentic flavours of the Gargano and the secrets of extra virgin olive oil production, tasting it together with cheeses, wines and local specialities. On the occasion of the Training Camp & 3 Days Gargano, the athletes of the orienteering team also visited the farm for a regenerating snack.
THE BRAND AWARDS
Olio della Valle’s olives are grown on 22 hectares of land using organic methods, without the use of chemicals or pesticides. For this reason, the company has been recognised as a Slow Food Secular Olives Presidium, thanks to its commitment to promoting the environmental and landscape value of local, centuries-old olive trees and related production, and to cultivation without synthetic fertilisers and chemical herbicides.
Bottled and labelled since 2018, the olive oil has won numerous awards, such as the three Gambero Rosso leaves from the 2024 Italian Oil Guide, the 2024 Golden Lion, the oldest and most selective competition in the world, the 2023 Gold Medal for the Ogliarola Monocultivar and inclusion among the ten best oils in the world according to the “Olio Nuovo” cultural movement.
A WINNING COLLABORATION
“Those who love adventure know that orienteering is more than a sport – says the owner Klodjan Agalliu – it is a challenge with yourself, a way to explore the territory following only a map and a compass, letting yourself be guided by instinct and the beauty of nature. And what better place to live this experience than here in Vieste, in the heart of the Gargano?
Three years ago, we met the staff of PWT Italia and tasted our extra virgin olive oil. We were immediately on the same wavelength: genuine, passionate people who shared our love of quality and respect for the environment. From this meeting a natural harmony was born, which today has been transformed into a concrete collaboration. This is a special opportunity not only to share our olive oil, but also to raise awareness of an area that has so much to offer lovers of nature, exercise and authentic experiences”.
