Ogliarola Salentina organic extra virgin olive oil from the Torre Guaceto Reserve.
Between the land of Bari and the ancient land of Otranto, Puglia becomes a forest of ancient olive trees punctuated by dry stone walls, oil mills and ancient farms.

Calemone’s story is intimately entwined with that of the place it was born: the Natural Reserve of Torre Guaceto, an unspoiled paradise, where century-old olive groves alternate with cereal and vegetable crops, a land so marvellous, it cannot but yield exquisite fruit to those who can appreciate quality and authenticity.
It is from passions for this land, and lessons learnt from their fathers, that the idea of enhancing the territory’s historic crops was born. This is what started “Calemone”, a distinctive brand of products such as extra-virgin olive oil from “monumental” olive trees (trees that have been alive for hundreds, if not for thousands of years) and “Fiaschetto di Torre Guaceto” tomatoes from organic farming. Territory, passion, and absolute dedication are behind every Calemone product.
Every phase, from production to processing to packaging is entirely made in Puglia, giving clients an essential guarantee of a product that is excellent and truly Apulian.
The company and their “Fiaschetto di Torre Guaceto” tomatoes have also appeared in the program GEO by Rai, the Italian state broadcaster:
