Featured Bottles
Lucia Carbone
Ostuni, Puglia
Inspired by the white walls of Ostuni and the turquoise Adriatic, Lucia's work captures the delicate beauty of Mediterranean nature. Her butterflies, cats, and flamingos dance with light and color.
Featured Bottles
Anna Greco
Lecce, Puglia
A graduate of Lecce's Academy of Fine Arts, Anna brings a contemporary eye to traditional forms. Her sunflowers and pomegranates burst with the vivid energy of Salento's summer landscapes.
Featured Bottles
Pietro Mazzotta
Gallipoli, Puglia
Born in the fishing port of Gallipoli, Pietro's work draws from the sea and the noble crests of Puglia's historic palazzi. His octopus and lion designs are among our most collected pieces.
Featured Bottles
From Clay to Masterpiece
Eight meticulous steps transform raw Pugliese clay into a vessel worthy of our finest oil.
Clay Sourcing
Local clay from the quarries near Grottaglie, prized for its warm tone and workability.
Shaping
Each bottle is thrown on a traditional wheel, shaped by hand to our signature silhouette.
First Firing
Bisque fired at 1000°C to harden the clay and prepare it for glazing.
Hand Painting
The artist paints each design freehand — no stencils, no transfers. Pure artistry.
Glazing
A clear glaze is applied to protect the artwork and give the bottle its luminous sheen.
Final Firing
Glost fired at 1100°C to fuse the glaze and create a food-safe, watertight vessel.
Filling
The bottle is filled with freshly pressed extra virgin olive oil and sealed with a natural cork.
Wax Sealing
A hand-dipped wax seal in our signature gold completes each bottle — ready for the world.
Clay remembers. It remembers the hands that shaped it, the fire that hardened it, the brush that gave it life. Every bottle carries the memory of its making.Marco Ferretti
