Seasonal products from the gulf and hinterland of Diano Marina

The history that binds our family to the land is now many years long, a long journey that reaches the present day.

For generations, we have been dealing with olives of Taggiasca quality. Our olive groves are all located in the municipality of Diano San Pietro, in the hinterland of Diano Marina, Liguria, where only olives of the Taggiasca cultivar are grown. We have about 2000 century-old trees of the Taggiasca cultivar, distributed over 6 hectares of terraced land, the so-called “fasce”.

Nestled amidst olive groves is our Agriturismo Cà di Ughi, surrounded by a green and peaceful setting.

In our area, the olive harvest is still done in the traditional way, by hand, partly because of the peculiarities of our countryside. Filomeno, Tiziano and Marino take care of the tree-trimming and Carmen of the ground picking of the fruit on the nets, which are then taken to the oil mill on the same day where they are transformed into oil. Pressing and processing are carried out cold, to guarantee the best organoleptic, nutritional and conservation properties.

Thanks to the winning combination of soil, water and climate, the Taggiasca olive is a unique product, imitated though never equalled. Aromatic and fruity, with a harmonious taste, it is widely used both consumed naturally, raw or in brine, and in cooking.

Its fame is now recognized internationally, as it enriches the dishes of the Mediterranean diet. There are many Ligurian dishes based on Taggiasca olives, in particular stewed meat or fish, such as Ligurian stewed rabbit and brandacujun and cundijun.
