The name

The child born from the furrow

In Etruscan myth, a ploughman in the fields of Tarquinia saw a child rise from the furrow, with the wisdom of an old man. His name was Tages, and he taught the Etruscans to read the signs of sky and earth.

The name Tegete echoes his. The figure who looks up with an open hand sits in our seal, beside the motto that guides us: from the earth, wisdom.

We grow and produce here, on the same hills. The 2026 oil is all Canino, the local cultivar.

One cultivar

Canino, 2026 harvest

This year's oil is single-cultivar: only Canino olives, the historic cultivar of northern Lazio.

The cultivar

Canino is tied to the area between Tarquinia and Canino, in northern Lazio.

The early harvest

The olives are picked early, by hand or with harvesting rakes, while they are still mostly green.

From grove to tin

The harvest

A heap of freshly picked Canino olives, green, purple and black — Our olives, freshly picked, at different stages of ripening.

An olive branch laden with fruit against a blue sky — The branch, under the Tarquinia sky.

Ripening olives among silvery leaves — The olives change colour as they ripen.

Two stainless steel containers with a tap on the porch table — The olives are picked and pressed within 24 hours; the oil is stored in stainless steel under inert gas.
