Some oils aren't made to be “just another one”. This one is made to tell a specific story, rooted in a family, a land and a way of doing things that has never changed.
“Millenovecentosessantuno” (“nineteen sixty-one”) is our limited-edition extra virgin olive oil, made exclusively from olives grown by the Papaleo Family Farm. A pure 100% single-variety oil that represents the most authentic essence of the land.
Its base is 100% Tondina cultivar, carefully selected and harvested in October and November, when the fruit shows its best balance between intensity and ripeness.
It speaks clearly from the very first taste. Its sensory profile is a light fruitiness of ripe olives, enriched by recognisable notes of meadow grass, almond and artichoke, making it complex yet elegant and natural.
On the palate it shows light but lingering bitterness and pepperiness, the hallmark of a genuine oil made from healthy olives, carefully processed and never forced.
It's an oil made to be used strictly raw. That's where it shows its best: on warm bread, simple salads, fresh vegetables, carpaccio, pulses and Mediterranean dishes.
A single drop is enough to change the character of a dish.
The name “Millenovecentosessantuno” isn't by chance: it's a nod to roots, memory and the continuity of work that began long ago and carries on today. A reminder that every bottle is the result of a long story, made of gestures repeated over time, experience and passion.
It's a limited edition, meant to be precious not only for what's inside but for what it means. Every bottle is as unique as the way it's made: artisan, family-run, authentic.
