About Us
Our Story
Olives have been in our family for generations. My grandfather produced oil for the family, surrounding neighbours and friends. My ancestors worked very hard to nurture the land and the olive trees before it was taken during the communist years; after communism collapsed it was a very special moment for our family, we then got our land back and the olive grove, so we started to produce our oil again.
From Sallaku Farm to your Bottle
Grown at the Heart of Rade Durrës
We focus on delivering the best quality product every year and nurture the land all year to ensure that the olive trees maintain all the goodness, and all the health benefits that the olive oil delivers.
Our farm is free from preservatives and our land is well maintained to keep the soil's natural nutrition. The trees are looked after with care and each tree is fertilised every two years with organic fertiliser that we purchase from the local farmers, this procedure helps the land get organically healthier.
