Francaterra

Vendor Biography

Three brothers: Giuseppe, Francesco and Aniello. Francaterra was born with us, in Somma Vesuviana.

The passion for food, attention to raw materials and a dream to bring the best of the earth to the table have been what our family has had in common for two generations now.

After all, those who believe in something dedicate themselves to their dream, taking care of that seed day after day.

And we believe in the land. Because the land is free. It is the mother who transforms love into fruits, it is the place of care and attention, respect and tradition.

Ravé: intense flavour. 

The prince of oils

For over a decade, Francaterra has dedicated its passion to the cultivation of Ravè oil in its family olive groves on the slopes of Vesuvius.

The Ravece olive variety, originally from the picturesque Ufita Valley in Irpinia and also known as Curatone and Olivona, albeit with a slightly lower yield, stands out for its constant productivity and the extraordinary quality of the oil produced.

The fusion of the deep roots in the fertile land of Vesuvius gives our Ravè an extraordinary structure and a unique organoleptic profile.

The volcanic earth enhances the sensorial qualities of this oil, making it a true delight for the palate.

With its unmistakable green color, Ravè presents an intense and elegant olive fruitiness, enriched by clear aromas of artichoke and strong notes of green tomato. On the palate, an intense balance emerges between bitter and spicy, resulting from the high content of polyphenols. In addition to conquering local palates, Ravè establishes itself as a symbol of quality on national and international markets.

Ravè is more than just olive oil; it is the undisputed ruler of extra virgin olive oils, representing Made in Italy excellence. Awarded by experts and loved by consumers around the world, our Ravè is made from 100% Ravece olives, grown and pressed within 24 hours to ensure freshness and purity in every drop.

The authentic knowledge of the flavor of the Campania tradition

Small gifts of pleasure for the palate, princes and bourgeois who coexist in the same story. Centenary, like the production methods of Campania. Francaterra tomatoes.

From the living soil of selected fields, from hands that harvest, from hearts that test and care, from wisdom that respects the Earth in sowing, cultivation and culture of nature.

Our Piennolo DOP and Giagiù tomatoes, the San Marzano DOP from the Nocerino-Sarnese countryside. Smells and textures that tell of history, values and traditions. Our tomatoes come from ancient productions of the Vesuvian area and the Nocerino-Sarnese countryside, a territory with a long tradition in the cultivation of a gastronomic specialty recognized throughout the world.

The tradition in oil, in jars full of goodness

The image is there, still and suspended in time: the hands of a grandmother who preserves, the laughter of her grandchildren who steal a timeless goodness. Tradition has the taste of vegetables in oil, symbol of the Campania table. A delicacy to be enjoyed all year round, out of season.

Demonstrations of love for the Earth which gives us gifts from which to draw our personal selection of goodness made of preserves and delicious morsels. The Marquis Friariè, the escarole alla monachina and the prince in oil: actors on the laid table just waiting to be tasted. For lovers of the biodiversity of our territory, a happy search for those who do not transform but preserve nature in all its essence.
