About the TURI
The Turi is named in tribute to Giuseppeâs father, Salvatore. His family called him Turi for short. Salvatore always had a love for olive trees, when he retired early he decided to plant the missing rows in âcampagnaâ with the local cultivar, Carolea, and Pugliese cultivar Coratina.
Today the trees range in age from 100 to 3 years old planted by three different generations of farmers.
Located 25 meters above sea level and just several hundred meters from a cliff that faces the Ionian sea, these trees benefit from soaking in the sun from dusk till dawn and refreshing themselves with a magical summer iodine breeze on windy days.
