DOP Molise Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil Cantigallo confirms its role as a protagonist in the Italian olive growing scene. We are located among the gentlest hills and the most colorful horizons of Molise, more precisely in the Cantigallo area of Montenero di Bisaccia, on the coast of the province of Campobasso. Embraced by the breezes of the Adriatic Sea and the winds of the Majella mountain, a Grand Cru oil is born, a blend of Gentile di Larino, Nociara, and Leccino olives. This oil comes from a young olive grove, located between 135 and 155 meters above sea level, in a hilly landscape with mostly flat and sandy areas.
The Secrets of Cantigallo: Quality and Certification
A label that pays homage to its origins, Cantigallo quickly wins over consumers and the most important national and international competitions and awards.
Thanks to our native varieties, the strictly controlled supply chain, and the uncompromising care of the product, we proudly bear the DOP Molise Certification. This standard allows us to guarantee our customers the maximum quality and purity. The high quality standards of our oil are reflected in parameters such as low free acidity and a high total polyphenol content, essential elements certified by rigorous positive results from the panel test.
The Ascent: From the Terred’Olio Guide to International Awards
Year after year, our Cantigallo has proven its unique value, gradually making its way among the great national players, producers of some of the most awarded oils in the world. First among them is the Maestrod’olio Competition by Fausto Borella, one of the longest-running competitions in the Italian landscape.
The Cantigallo D.O.P. Molise thus first achieved entry into the Terred’Olio Guide in 2021 and has since begun a long and continuous annual ascent of awards, culminating this year in being honored with the Gemma Maestrod’olio, the Academy’s important recognition.
