BioOrto: tomato sauces, tomatoes in glass and superior extra virgin olive oil from sunny Italy
BioOrto is an Italian family business founded in 2003 by Nino Passalacqua. His grandparents Giulia and Pietro left their lives in the Abruzzi mountains in the 1950s, where they roamed as nomads with their livestock. They settled in Tavoliere delle Puglie to practice agriculture on the low-lying pastures. Today, the Passalacqua family owns 500 acres In northern Puglia, at the foot of the Gargano National Park. The special Mediterranean microclimate, with mineral water filtered through the mainland, makes the soil rich and fertile.
Italian specialties such as passata, sun-dried tomatoes and organic olive oil
Meanwhile, Nino Passalacqua's children take care of the business: Giulia and her husband Mirko and Tiziano and Nino Jr. Organic vegetables typical of the region are grown, including organic tomatoes. Bio Orto produces delicious Italian tomato specialties, including tomato passata, hand peeled tomatoes and various tomato sauces that include basil or chili. The tomatoes are harvested and selected by hand. If necessary, they are dried under the Mediterranean sun and marinated in extra virgin olive oil (like the sun-dried tomatoes). Bio Orto also produces this superior quality olive oil itself.

Italian Olive oil from monocultivar olives: superior quality from Puglia
These organic olive oils from Italy are so-called monocultivar olive oils, made from a single olive variety (cultivar). The olives are picked by hand to ensure consistent quality. Such an oil has a distinct, unique flavor and is scarce, as most olive oils are made from multiple varieties of olives. Bio Orto's monocultivars are therefore of Italian excellence and are highly recommended by Flos Olei 2019 - an important guide to the world of extra virgin olive oil!
