The company
We are renewal, development, sustainability and transparency.
We are Maldera.
From these values comes a shared vision, projected towards the achievement of a single objective: to create an excellent extra virgin olive oil, with unique organoleptic qualities and high health properties. From a passion handed down from generation to generation, the small family craft business has turned into a big project. The spirit of sacrifice of those who preceded us and the unconditional love for the territory and culture in which we live, have been the engine that has led us to work tirelessly every day to transform our raw materials into pure excellence to bring to the table .
We have chosen to invest in process innovation , always keeping alive the red thread that binds us to tradition but betting on research and technological development.
We have chosen to invest in people , stimulating and inspiring our collaborators in the search for perfection, overcoming their limits and improving every day.
We have chosen to invest in quality , guaranteeing a more accurate control of the supply chain, also through our "Olifarm" brand, specialized in the sale of plant protection products that preserve and improve the treatment of agricultural crops.
They are professional choices, but above all they are choices dictated by the heart. And from a great vision: that of spreading the culture of Italian quality oil on tables around the world. And, why not, a little piece of Puglia: Corato, the "home" of the most prized and long-lived variety, the famous Coratina olive.
Our house.
