Agricola Taurino

Taurino is the story of a passion handed down from generation to generation. The company was founded in the 1960s in Squinzano, from an idea of Pino and Maria, who were great workers with a dream: to build a solid future for their children in the heart of their land, Salento. The ambitious venture was to no longer grow olives to be sold to large processors outside the region, which was what most of the farmers in the area did, but to make their own extra virgin oil that could aspire to the highest levels of excellence. The idea was well before its time and has proven to be successful. Meanwhile, the second generation of Taurino, Rosaria and Donato, looked to the future and sensed the changing times towards a more demanding and careful consumption: in 2002 the Taurino company made a leap in quality with the implementation of a oil mill and the introduction of the latest technological innovations. Today the Taurino agricultural company is one of the most important entities in Salento.

Production

The farm extends over 160 hectares and is equipped with a modern continuous cycle oil mill with "cold" extraction and olive pressing within 3 hours, operating with strict compliance to hygiene standards. All stages of processing are closely followed, both the production and processing of olives, and the classification, storage and conservation of the oil. The result is a production process that adheres to the highest quality standards: short supply chain, organic cultivation, olives harvested and pressed within a day, resulting in a prestigious range of extra-virgin olive oil, an expression of the perfect union between the experience of a family tradition and the most modern technologies.

Products

There are a range of other oils produced by the Taurino company.
The oils are four variants of extra virgin, with delicate or intense flavours, fruity or herbaceous, which bring to the table the authentic scent of Puglia. Extrà is the extra virgin olive oil, a source of vitamin E, which contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. This type of oil presents harmonious spicy notes while maintaining its delicacy. Biò is the organic extra virgin olive oil with herbaceous scents with an aftertaste of tomato and artichoke. Polaris extra virgin olive oil has a sweet taste and a slight aftertaste of leaves. Sirius is characterized by its medium fruity flavour with an artichoke aftertaste and herbaceous scents. In addition, the condiments, such as basil oil, lemon oil and chilli oil, are flagship products of the Taurino company.
