TENUTA SEVERINI S.S. AGRICOLA

At Tenuta Severini, the past meets the present in a natural flow of stories and events. Elodia Severini changed the course of her life by transforming part of the estate inherited from her father into an olive grove. Today, her daughter Valeria D’Auria continues the activity with an innovative approach, shared with her children Marianna, Guglielmo, and Gabriele, who represent a future in continuous evolution.

The estate extends over approximately 44 hectares, with 12 hectares of olive groves at 380 meters above sea level on the hills of Boccafolle, in the upper province of Cosenza. Respect for natural rhythms and the slow maturation of the fruit guides every stage of production, from tree care to harvesting and milling.

Harvesting begins in October, when the olives, still green, are rich in polyphenols and Mediterranean aromas. They are collected using mechanical methods and processed within a few hours at controlled temperatures. The oil is immediately filtered and subjected to laboratory and sensory analyses to ensure its quality. Tenuta Severini produces two extra virgin olive oils: Il Generale, a single-varietal Carolea with a green profile and notes of freshly cut grass, thistle, and tomato, balanced in bitterness and pungency; and M. Elodia, a blend of Coratina and Carolea, with hints of fresh almond, a pronounced bitterness, and a persistent spiciness.

Alongside its oils, the estate also creates red tuna fillets preserved in extra virgin olive oil, produced in Marzamemi, and green Carolea olives in natural brine. Tenuta Severini is featured in leading industry guides and has received numerous awards
