Company Profile
AZIENDA AGRICOLA LA ROCCA
The olive farm La Rocca, an Italian company, located in the little town of Villa Faraldi, in Liguria, in the heart of Taggiasca,
was born in 2016 for a passion and bond with the territory of two young graduates, who decided to cultivate the family olive groves and undertake a new lifestyle, more in contact with nature and the territory.
The olive farm La Rocca is mainly dedicated to the cultivation of some olive groves of taggiasca cultivar, in western Liguria, from which we obtain a sweet and delicate extra virgin olive oil and taggiasca olives in brine, products increasingly recognized internationally for their quality. The olive farm La Rocca cultivates about 1800 secular olive trees of monocultivar Taggiasca distributed on an area of 6 hectares. All the land has the typical Ligurian "fasce" made with dry stone walls, some of which have been recently rebuilt. The plants are pruned in polyconic vase in order to optimize pruning and harvesting times and to improve the quality of production. In some of the olive groves a drip irrigation system has been realized in order to provide the right amount of water minimizing the waste.
The system of harvesting olives is manual with the use of nets on the ground and mechanical facilitators, such as electric and internal combustion shakers. The harvest every evening is brought to the company where it is defoliated before being transported to a nearby mill. Sometimes it is performed an operation of calibration with special machinery to select the largest olives to put in brine. The fresh olives of the day are delivered to a semi-traditional mill with stone grinders, the extraction of oil is cold. The oil obtained, of high quality, is transported directly to our company and stored in stainless steel drums awaiting packaging.
The company also has an agritourism part. The Agritourism La Rocca is located in Riva Faraldi, has two independent apartments, spacious and comfortable, ideal for those who want to spend their vacations at sea while enjoying the calm and silence of the countryside. Very appreciated is the context in which the structure is located, all around in fact there are in addition to olive trees, fruit trees and citrus, vegetable garden and a small greenhouse. Part of this fruit and vegetable production is transformed.
