Tales - Pietra Essenziale

Olive oil tradition and modernity, evolution from stone to mill

With Tales we have broken down the essence of the Olio Guglielmi brand into four elements inspired by the values that guide our work every day. They are invisible but fundamental principles, capable of making tangible the quality of an authentic oil that is born in Puglia.

Tales is the story of what inspires us, of what we are. A project that speaks through extra virgin olive oil to give voice to our identity, made of territory, people and vision.

PIETRA ESSENZIALE

Noble element of Puglia

From stone to mill: the time of evolution
A tribute to tradition, it represents the ancient stones used to crush olives, a symbol of a technique that embodies the artisanal wisdom handed down over time.
It is precisely from those stones that a conscious evolution began: today, the pressing takes place in modern mills, where innovation does not erase the roots, but sublimates them. This is how the oil tradition meets technology, in a harmonious balance between past and future.

THE EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL IN THE BOTTLE

Tales Pietra Essenziale is an intensely fruity extra virgin olive oil, obtained from Coratina, a native cultivar par excellence known for its high content of polyphenols that guarantee a marked bitter-spicy structure. To the eye it appears clear, an intense green with golden reflections.
On the nose, there are strong notes of fresh tomato, aromatic herbs, almond and artichoke, nuanced with hints of green apple.
This complex sensory profile is supported by a present but well-balanced bitterness and a persistent spiciness. Perfect for use raw, it enhances structured and characterful dishes such as legumes, rustic soups, red meats, grilled vegetables and mature cheeses.

His robust personality is ideal for telling the strength of the Apulian land.
