We cultivate stones to transform them into products.
Our Philosophy
At Petricor, past and present grow together, rooted in the same land. We cultivate in harmony with its rhythm, respecting its limits. Our work is guided by daily gestures: careful, mindful, and deliberate. Above all, this is home: a place to cherish and protect.
Closed supply chain
Our products are genuine, natural, simple, wholesome, pure and fair. Our supply chain is fully integrated, and we oversee every single stage. Everything we produce comes from our own land.
Each product is closely tied to a season, to a specific moment in the production cycle. For this reason, availability is limited and shaped by the rhythms of nature.
Preserving our land
It is a renewed way of looking at the land, an energy that brings freshness and responsibility. It is people in service of the territory, listening to it and respecting it. Precision agriculture, sustainable practices, and a different way of living and managing the countryside, in harmony with nature.
It is knowledge passed down over time, built through experience, attempts and achievements. It is the life of those who came before me: my father, who always found his freedom in the countryside, and my mother, a woman and entrepreneur, a quiet and tireless strength.

Care
Our work begins long before the harvest. It starts with the daily care of the olive trees, where every gesture is manual and essential. Here, we do not force nature: we accompany it, respecting its rhythm and whatever each season is willing to offer.
Harvest
The olives are hand-picked at the moment they reach perfect ripeness. It is a precious time, made of attention and presence, of months and months of work and dedication. Harvest is an encounter between the land and those who work it.
Transport
After harvesting, the olives are taken to the mill as quickly as possible. Reducing waiting time means preserving the fruit’s integrity, its aroma, and its identity. It is a choice of quality and respect.
The Olive Mill
In the morning we harvest the olives, and in the afternoon we turn them into oil. The olives are defoliated, washed, and then immediately processed using mechanical methods, extracting the oil cold, without forcing the process.
Storage
Taggiasca extra virgin olive oil is a delicate product: it requires quality, careful processing, and attention during storage, kept cool and protected from light and oxygen. We preserve it under vacuum, bottling it upon request.
Responsible agriculture
For us, responsible farming means, first and foremost, respect. Respect for the land we inhabit, for its limits and its timing. It means not asking more than it can give, but accompanying it, season after season, with care and balance.
It is a constant presence, shaped by observation and care. It means choosing practices that preserve natural balance, protecting the soil, the plants, and the surrounding landscape.
Being responsible means this: safeguarding today what can continue to live tomorrow.
The process: from the land
to the table
The Supply Chain
Our work begins with the daily care of the olive trees, continues with hand harvesting at the right stage of ripeness, and carries on with the rapid transport of the olives to the mill in order to preserve their quality.
Calibration
The olives are carefully selected, one by one, according to size and quality. This step ensures uniformity and respect for the fruit, preserving its natural balance.
Fermentation
The olives rest in brine, where time and natural processes slowly transform their flavour. It is a patient wait that enhances the aromas, texture, and authenticity of the product.
Transformation
Once in brine, the olives are carefully processed in our laboratory. They can be packaged in their natural form or transformed into other products, while preserving their full quality.
