Like all great masterpieces, the Gentile di Mafalda is something unique and inimitable. Its story takes on noble nuances and tells of how nature is always able to surpass itself. If the tradition of planting an olive tree at the birth of a daughter has origins that are lost over time, it certainly could not be ignored with the arrival of Mafalda di Savoia, second born of King Vittorio Emanuele III, from whom the village even took its current name . Legend has it that with the trees planted for the occasion, nature created a miracle that amazed everyone: those plants benefited from an unusual pollination that gave life to a unique fruit of its kind, an absolute excellence that stands out from any other typology.

The Gentile di Mafalda was in fact born from an exclusive cultivar, rediscovered and registered by Francesco Mastrangelo in 2017 after years of studies and research. An extraordinary native variety, present only in the hills of our small village, capable of profoundly enriching the biodiversity of the Italian olive growing heritage. An extra virgin olive oil with exceptional organoleptic qualities, emblem of Made in Italy, already awarded with important awards in Italy and abroad.
