As autumn arrives and the days grow cooler, it's time to embrace comforting flavours and slower moments around the table. The change in season is the perfect excuse to indulge in richer ingredients, bolder flavours, and thoughtfully sourced food — and few ingredients capture the essence of Italian autumn quite like extra-virgin olive oil and artisanal jams.
At Terre Di San Vito, we take pride in sharing the flavours of Puglia, crafted with care and passed down through generations. Whether you're preparing a seasonal feast, building a grazing board, or searching for a luxurious foodie gift, our olive oil and jam range offers quality, authenticity, and warmth.
The Flavours of Autumn Begin in Puglia
Puglia, located in the heel of Italy, is a region deeply rooted in agricultural tradition. Known for its sun-soaked olive groves and ancient farming practices, the land here produces some of the most flavourful and nutrient-rich ingredients in the Mediterranean.
Autumn is harvest season in Puglia — a time of gathering, pressing, preserving, and celebrating. It's when the year's efforts come to fruition, and the kitchens are filled with slow-cooked meals, roasted vegetables, fresh bread, and sweet preserves. Our extra virgin olive oil and small-batch jams are a direct product of this season — made to bring comfort and flavour to your everyday meals.
Cold-Pressed Olive Oil: A Kitchen Essential
Our organic extra-virgin olive oil is cold-pressed from olives harvested early on our family-owned estate. This early harvest results in a robust, slightly peppery flavour that is characteristic of high-quality Puglian oil. The olives are pressed within hours of picking to preserve their natural antioxidants, colour, and complexity.
Use it as a finishing touch for soups, drizzled over burrata, tossed with roasted vegetables, or even as a dip with fresh, crusty bread. It's not just an ingredient — it's a celebration of heritage and health.
Meet Our Artisan Jams – Now in Beautiful Red Print Jars
Handmade in small batches using traditional Puglian methods, our jams are bursting with authentic flavour. We never use artificial additives or preservatives — just fruit, sugar, and time-honoured recipes. Our new red print jars make these already beautiful products even more giftable and table-ready.
