Il Tratturello is crafted in Piani di Larino, the heart of the Molise region, by husband and wife team Francesco and Pia Travaglini. This real extra virgin olive oil comes predominantly from local cultivar Gentile di Larino (60%), along with Frantoio (28%), Leccino (10%), and Moraiolo (2%) olive varieties.
Molise is one of Italy's unsung treasures; its economy is still struggling to recover from the devastating earthquakes it has suffered in recent years. But Molise allows visitors a rare glimpse of Italian agriculture in its most genuine, breathtaking, and natural setting.
