EVOLIO EXPO is the trade show for extra virgin olive oil producers, which will be held for the third consecutive year in Bari, Puglia, the region of Italy best suited for olive cultivation. After your participation last year, why did you decide to return this year?

Participating in the first edition of EVOLIO EXPO represented an important opportunity for Tenuta del Moro to gain visibility and engage with the world of extra virgin olive oil. We chose to return this year because we believe in the value of an event capable of bringing together producers, industry operators, and professionals, fostering connections between different entities and creating new opportunities for collaboration.

We particularly appreciated the professional nature of the fair, the quality of the attendees, and the chance to showcase our products in a highly specialized setting that recognizes extra virgin olive oil for the value it deserves. Participating also allowed us to boost our brand’s visibility, strengthen existing relationships, and establish new connections with stakeholders interested in the quality and identity of our products.

We believe that EVOLIO EXPO is a strategic showcase for promoting the culture of extra virgin olive oil and highlighting the work of companies that invest in quality. Returning to Bari therefore means continuing on a path of growth and reaffirming Tenuta del Moro’s commitment to being present at the sector’s key events for networking and development.

What is the flagship product you will be showcasing at the trade show

The flagship product we will be presenting at EVOLIO EXPO is Cauro, our organic Sicilian PGI extra virgin olive oil—an authentic expression of the Nocellara Etnea cultivar. This oil embodies the character of the volcanic Etna region and the richness of the Mediterranean climate, elements that contribute to its aromatic complexity and distinctive identity.

On the nose, it stands out for its elegant notes of green tomato, aromatic herbs, and almond, while on the palate it offers a balanced and persistent flavor that combines intensity and elegance. Cauro fully embodies our production philosophy, which is based on promoting native varieties, respecting the land, and pursuing quality.

The decision to present it at the trade show stems from our desire to introduce professionals and industry stakeholders to a product that tells the story of the region through its organoleptic characteristics and strong identity. Cauro is our way of expressing the excellence of Sicilian olive cultivation and promoting an oil that combines authenticity, sustainability, and gastronomic culture.

Oil is HEALTH, Oil is INNOVATION, Oil is TOURISM: these are the themes of EVOLIO Expo. Which one do you think best reflects your business and your oil? And why?

Of the three proposed themes, we believe that “Oil is TOURISM” is the one that best reflects our reality and the philosophy of Tenuta del Moro. Our oil comes from Sicily, a land where olive cultivation is an integral part of the landscape, culture, and local traditions. We believe that telling the story of an olive oil also means telling the story of the region it comes from, its unique characteristics, and the work involved in every stage of production.

Olive oil tourism represents an important opportunity to bring people closer to the world of olive cultivation, introducing them not only to the organoleptic characteristics of a high-quality extra virgin olive oil but also to the heritage of knowledge, biodiversity, and traditions it preserves. It is a way to create a deeper connection between producer, consumer, and the local area, transforming the tasting experience into one of discovery and appreciation of local excellence.

Through our oils—and in particular through Cauro, a product of the Nocellara Etnea cultivar—we aim to convey precisely this connection: an identity rooted in the Sicilian land that finds its most authentic expression in the quality of the product itself. We are convinced that promoting olive oil also means promoting the places, people, and culture that make it unique.

EVOLIO EXPO is the trade show for EVO oil producers, which will be held for the third consecutive year in Bari, Puglia, the region of Italy best suited to olive cultivation. Why is it important for you to be here as exhibitors?

For us at Olearia Geraci srl, participating in EVOLIO EXPO is a strategic choice that reflects our identity and our history. We have been operating in the olive oil sector for over 40 years—a journey built on dedication, expertise, and continuous investment in quality. Participating in this trade show means bringing the experience of a company that has evolved while staying true to its roots to a highly specialized setting.

Today, EVOLIO EXPO stands as one of the leading professional events dedicated to extra virgin olive oil: a place where producers, buyers, technicians, and foodservice professionals come together to discuss new trends, innovation, and the culture of extra virgin olive oil. For our company—rooted in Calabria and specializing in the production of Calabria PGI, Bruzio PDO, organic, and flavored extra virgin olive oils—exhibiting in Bari holds special significance.

What is the flagship product you will be showcasing at the trade show

We will be presenting Bruzio DOP extra virgin olive oil, a single-varietal oil made from the Dolce di Rossano cultivar, a native variety of the Rossano region. This is a Protected Designation of Origin (DOP) product, produced through a controlled and traceable supply chain, from harvesting to processing to packaging. Its organoleptic profile is balanced and harmonious, with subtle fruity, bitter, and spicy notes—an authentic expression of the Rossano terroir.

Oil is HEALTH, Oil is INNOVATION, Oil is TOURISM: these are the themes of EVOLIO Expo. Which one do you think best reflects your business and your oil? And why?

The theme that best represents our corporate identity is “Oil is TOURISM.” We are actively involved in the olive oil tourism sector and are the first company to be listed in the Calabria Region’s Registry of Olive Oil Tourism Operators. This allows us to combine olive oil production with a structured experiential program: visits to the mill, guided tastings, and tours through olive groves and the surrounding countryside, which bring consumers closer to olive oil culture and raise their awareness of the value of quality. We believe that olive oil tourism is a strategic lever for enhancing local products and promoting the region. For more information on our activities: www.olioturismo.com

We also recognize the central importance of the other two themes: innovation, as a tool for continuous quality improvement; and health, linked to the nutraceutical properties of extra virgin olive oil and olive processing byproducts. In this regard, we note that a research and experimentation initiative has been launched in which our company serves as a production partner alongside the UNIVERSITY OF CALABRIA — Department of Pharmacy, Health Sciences, and Nutrition, which serves as the lead scientific partner, responsible for characterizing the safety and efficacy of the extracts and the nutraceutical prototype, as well as for developing green extraction protocols and formulating the prototype.

EVOLIO EXPO is the trade show for extra virgin olive oil (EVO) producers, which will be held for the third consecutive year in Bari, Puglia, the region of Italy best suited to olive cultivation. Why is it important for you to be here as exhibitors?

For us, participating in EVOLIO Expo 2027 means having the opportunity to fully showcase our region, Abruzzo, and the cultivars that define it.

What is the flagship product you will be showcasing at the trade show?

The flagship product we will be presenting at EVOLIO Expo is “L’Uomo di Ferro,” a single-varietal extra virgin olive oil made from the Dritta cultivar. What sets it apart is the early harvest of the olives, which takes place as early as the end of September.

Oil is HEALTH, Oil is INNOVATION, Oil is TOURISM: these are the themes of EVOLIO Expo. Which one do you think best reflects your business and your oil? And why?

Among the themes of EVOLIO Expo, the one that best reflects our business is undoubtedly “Oil is Health.” Our production is, in fact, focused on nutraceutical oils—an aspect that makes us particularly aligned with this theme and that defines our offering.

EVOLIO EXPO is the trade show for extra virgin olive oil producers, which will be held for the third consecutive year in Bari, Puglia, the region of Italy best suited for olive cultivation. After your participation last year, why did you decide to return this year?

We strongly believe in our region and in the value of networking opportunities like EVOLIO Expo, which serve as a starting point for building something greater together. We believe it is essential to move beyond an individualistic mindset—where each entity operates in isolation—and instead promote a unified and constructive vision for the olive sector, one capable of showcasing Puglia’s excellence without parochialism, but rather through dialogue and collaboration. It is from this ability to work as a cohesive system that, in our view, a shared path of growth for the entire sector can emerge.

What is the flagship product you will be showcasing at the trade show?

We don’t have a single flagship line: our offering stems from a desire to explore and showcase extra virgin olive oil in all its facets. At EVOLIO Expo, we’ll be presenting our entire range, from Extra Pop to Esordio, including our certified and flavored lines. These are different products, united by the same commitment to quality and the desire to offer experiences that cater to diverse tastes and needs.

Oil is HEALTH, Oil is INNOVATION, Oil is TOURISM: these are the themes of EVOLIO Expo. Which one do you think best reflects your business and your oil? And why?

For us, it is impossible to discuss any one of these drivers without considering the others: health, innovation, and tourism are complementary aspects of a single vision.

Health is reflected in the quality and purity of the product, the result of constant attention to the raw materials and every stage of the production process. Innovation is evident not only in analytical techniques and decisions regarding harvesting and processing, but also in packaging, which can transform a bottle of oil into an object capable of conveying an identity, sparking interest, and even becoming a collector’s item.

Finally, tourism represents an opportunity for us to go beyond a simple visit or tasting: it means sharing the culture, traditions, and knowledge of our region, making people an active part of a story that continues to evolve.

It is in the convergence of these three dimensions that we fully recognize our identity.

EVOLIO EXPO is the trade show for extra virgin olive oil (EVO) producers, which will be held for the third consecutive year in Bari, Puglia, the region of Italy best suited to olive cultivation. Why is it important for you to be here as exhibitors?

For Solatìa, participating in EVOLIO EXPO means having the opportunity to showcase our business in a professional setting dedicated to extra virgin olive oil and to engage with qualified industry professionals.

We are a small family-run business in Lazio, in the Roccasecca dei Volsci area, deeply committed to the Itrana cultivar and to promoting its unique identity. Being present at an event like EVOLIO EXPO allows us to share our approach to olive oil: a production process focused on quality, traceability, and our connection to the local territory, while also looking toward new markets and commercial opportunities.

For us, the trade show therefore represents not only an opportunity for visibility but, above all, a chance to meet and engage with buyers, importers, distributors, and industry professionals.

What is the flagship product you will be showcasing at the trade show?

Our flagship product will be RADICI, our Colline Pontine DOP Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, made from 100% Itrana olives.

RADICI fully embodies our vision of olive oil: a product that expresses the identity of the cultivar and the region through a distinctive organoleptic profile, backed by a commitment to quality and significant national and international accolades.

It is an olive oil born from the desire to highlight the Itrana not simply as a variety, but as a defining element of our region’s identity.

Oil is HEALTH, Oil is INNOVATION, Oil is TOURISM: these are the themes of EVOLIO Expo. Which one do you think best reflects your business and your oil? And why?

If we had to choose one of the three themes, we’d say “OIL IS TOURISM.”

It’s the theme we feel closest to because our olive oil comes from a specific place and carries that place’s identity with it. Telling the story of an olive oil means, in fact, telling the story of a region—its history, landscape, people, and the cultivars that make it unique.

In our case, the star is the Itrana, a native cultivar of Lazio, deeply rooted in the Pontine Hills and capable of expressing a highly distinctive character.

It is a unique, complex, and elegant variety that, in recent years, has been attracting growing interest even on international markets precisely because of its organoleptic characteristics and its regional identity.

Itrana also represents a treasure trove of biodiversity and agricultural culture, with an interesting nutritional profile and a high content of phenolic compounds. In our RADICI—100% Itrana and organic—these characteristics come together in a project dedicated to promoting the oil, based on quality, traceability, and respect for the land.

For us, therefore, olive oil is not just a product to be tasted, but a way to connect with a region. This is the essence of olive oil tourism: transforming knowledge of olive oil into an experience, leading visitors to discover the cultivar, the landscape, the agricultural work, and the culture behind every bottle.

And this is precisely our vision for Solatìa: to introduce people to a region through its olive oil and to help them recognize in the oil the identity of the region from which it comes.

EVOLIO EXPO is the trade show for extra virgin olive oil (EVO) producers, which will be held for the third consecutive year in Bari, Puglia, the region of Italy best suited to olive cultivation. Why is it important for you to be here as exhibitors?

For a highly internationalized company like ours, EVOLIO EXPO is an important opportunity to showcase our production model and strengthen our presence in national and international markets.

Bari, in particular, serves as a strategic bridge to the East, a crossroads of trade and commercial relations capable of fostering new growth opportunities in emerging markets.

What is the flagship product you will be showcasing at the trade show

The star of the show is our extra virgin olive oil, a reflection of the Minervino Murge region and the work we do ourselves at every stage of production. Our short supply chain, featuring olives we grow ourselves, along with our own mill and bottling facility, is a distinctive feature that allows us to track the product from the field to the bottle, highlighting its origin.

Oil is HEALTH, Oil is INNOVATION, Oil is TOURISM: these are the themes of EVOLIO Expo. Which one do you think best reflects your business and your oil? And why?

The EVOLIO Expo theme that best represents us: Oil is INNOVATION.

For us, innovation means integrating agricultural production, oil milling, and bottling into a single business model, while maintaining a strong connection to the local area and developing an international vision. We believe that competitiveness in the olive oil sector stems from the ability to combine tradition, control over the supply chain, and openness to global markets, transforming product quality into new opportunities for growth.
