| The story of our product line began with our Viridens extra virgin olive oil. This luminous oil comes from Alberto's native Umbria, along the costiera d'argento (silver coast) between Assisi and Spello, an area consecrated by the Pope in the 13th century for olive production. The oil is produced by the Pandolfi-Elmi family in the stoney hills of Cancellara. |

The Fiore di Sale, the precious flower of salt, is formed on the surface of the salina when very particular northern winds blow in conjunction with the intense Sicilian sun.The delicate crystals are swept with flat, wooden shovels into straw baskets on the edges of the salina to dry naturally.
