About the Lina

The Lina is a tribute to Giuseppe’s mother. Located 4 kilometers from the Ionian sea and 80 meters above sea level, these 10-year-old Coratina trees are perched on a hillside of stone and clay within a closed valley.

The wind currents flow down from the mountains to the lowland hills bringing fresh pollen and clean air helping to naturally pollinate all of the trees located within the valley.

Originally from Puglia, Coratina thrives in the mild coastal climate of Calabria creating a poised and distinguishable terroir.

Made in Italy

All EXAU olive oil is made in Calabria, Southern Italy where our family has been growing olives along the Ionian coast for almost 100 years. The trees benefit from the Mediterranean weather, their native climate.

Our trees range in age from 3 to 100 years old planted over three different generations. We also source fruit from other small, family-owned estates.

Who Produces EXAU Olive Oils?

What is Extra Virgin Olive Oil?

Extra virgin olive oil is the highest quality olive oil available to consumers. It must have a free fatty acid of less than 0.8%, peroxide below 20, and be free of sensory defects.

Extra virgin olive oil is produced with healthy and fresh olives harvested from the olive tree. The olive fruit is crushed and milled (pressed) before entering the centrifuge, a machine that separates olive oil from vegetable water and solids. Fresh oil exits the mill which is then filtered and bottled.
