The Story of Olio Sasa: The Tradition of Olive Oil
Since 2013, Olio Sasa has embodied a love for olive trees and the richness of Sardinia. This ambitious project took root thanks to Olivier, whose passion for these thousand-year-old trees, symbols of resilience and wisdom, inspired him to bring the project to life. Inspired by their history and their role in Mediterranean traditions, he chose to cultivate Tuscan olive varieties on the unique land of this fascinating island.
By combining artisanal expertise with respect for nature, Olio Sasa has distinguished itself through exceptional-quality extra virgin olive oils. Each bottle reflects an adventure that has been unfolding for more than a decade, telling the story of the perfect balance between tradition, innovation, and a love for the Sardinian land.
A Land Steeped in History
Sardinia: A Land of Millennia-Old Heritage
The Olio Sasa estate, located in Sardinia, is home to the La Prisgonia nuraghe, a thousand-year-old remnant of ancient civilizations. In addition to this historic site, several ancient olive trees adorn the plantation, bearing witness to the resilience of this land.
The region is also rich in tourist attractions that draw many visitors each year. These sites, together with the area’s local history, make the Olio Sasa estate a true crossroads between culture and nature, where the olives from these ancient trees give rise to an exceptional oil.
The Sant'Antonio Terroir
The Olive Varieties of the Sant'Antonio di Gallura (SASA) Olive Grove
The Tuscan varieties Leccino, Frantoio, Leccio del Corno, Maurino, and Pendolino thrive in the Sardinian terroir, embraced by the Mediterranean winds. Surrounded by wild aromatic plants such as Italian immortelle, myrtle, and thyme, they benefit from a rich and natural environment.
Olio Sasa’s artisanal olive grove features an optimized irrigation system, ensuring plump, high-quality olives. On the shores of Lago Liscia, this idyllic land gives the olive oil a unique and exceptional flavor.

Maintenance
Taking Great Care of the Olive Trees
At Olio Sasa, the olive trees are cared for with the utmost attention and respect. We favor manual methods, limiting the use of machinery in order to preserve the exceptional quality of the oil and allow the trees to thrive naturally in their environment.
Our olive grove is certified organic, a natural choice in such a pristine setting. Working in harmony with nature is essential, and in return, it rewards us with harvests of incomparable purity.
The olive trees are surrounded by lush biodiversity. We mow the wild grasses and weeds once or twice a year, leaving them in place to form a natural mulch. This organic layer retains moisture, protects the soil, and stimulates the activity of microorganisms—the true guardians of fertility. A perfect balance for strong, healthy olive trees and exceptional olive oil.
We are committed to preserving the environment and the quality of our products. No chemical fertilizers are used in our fields. We exclusively use organic and natural fertilizers to ensure healthy cultivation in harmony with nature.
Every drop of our oil reflects the love and care devoted to our olive trees. The olives are hand-harvested to preserve their integrity, then cold-pressed within 3 hours of picking. This fast and meticulous process preserves all the olives’ natural properties and flavors.
After pressing, the oil undergoes gentle filtration and is left to rest for 30 days to allow natural settling. The result? An extra virgin olive oil obtained through first cold pressing, offering exceptional purity and quality.
