De Carlo is a family-owned company dating back generations, with roots going to 1598. All historical information comes from public documents stored in the State Archives in Bari, the Onciario Census, and Tax Registers of Bitritto, the Bari National Library, and private family archives. The history of De Carlo products was born, evolved, and continues here, day by day, amidst centuries-old olive trees owned by the family, dry stone walls, a land with a characteristic scarlet hue, Mediterranean climate, and white stones. The favorable climate of the region, especially north of Bari, has always contributed to the extraordinary flavor of the olive oil with a detectable almond note.

Thick trunks and deep roots: centuries-old olive trees are symbols of Apulia, where most of the olive oil consumed, loved, and appreciated in Italy and worldwide has been produced for over three thousand years. Although the oldest evidence of olive use dates back to prehistoric times, the first to cultivate olive trees in Apulia were probably the ancient Messapians.

Olive oil produced in traditional stone mills

De Carlo farm currently spans 100 hectares, on which a total of 18,000 olive trees and vegetable plants grow, the latter used for canning. All De Carlo products are made respecting tradition and craftsmanship, with a strong focus on building state-of-the-art facilities. Olive oil is still produced in traditional stone mills, just as it was in the past, integrated with modern, technologically advanced systems.
Eco-friendly production at De Carlo

The De Carlo family has been producing organic products since the early 1990s, believing deeply that consumer health should come first. Currently, the entire farm is managed organically, even if only part of the production is certified as such.

De Carlo brand produces 5 labels, three of which come exclusively from their own olive groves: Tenuta Torre di Mossa DOP, Tenuta Arcamone DOP from organic cultivation, Felice Garibaldi olive oil, the latter of which is part of the Slow Food Presidium, and two selections from carefully chosen local producers: Classic and Contrada Torre Marina from organic farms. All five selections are made from olives harvested in the Bitritto area. They also created a line of vegetable preserves in extra virgin olive oil, marinated olives, pasta sauces, and delicate creams, available in both conventional and organic lines using their own vegetables. All pickles are made from vegetables grown on their own farms, processed within 24 hours of harvest.

In 1938, Mariano Mancini founded Azienda Agricola Mancini. His son Giuseppe expanded the farm from 5 to 70 hectares, combining farming with the development of a footwear business. He also passed on to his son Massimo the values of reliability and resilience, which enabled him to pursue his own dreams. Massimo Mancini completed agricultural studies in Bologna under the guidance of Giorgio Stupazzoni, an economist specializing in pasta production chains. This was the beginning of his dream to create a pasta manufacturing company.

In 2010, Massimo Mancini established Mancini Pastificio Agricolo, producing pasta exclusively from wheat grown on his own fields surrounding the brand. Some call it a company nestled among wheat fields spanning 300 hectares.
**Mission of Mancini Pastificio Agricolo**
The Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) is a set of features that Mancini Pastificio Agricolo applies to ensure environmentally friendly and sustainable agricultural management, aiming to produce raw materials of the highest quality and healthiness with minimal environmental impact and zero chemical residues.

The company's GAP objectives include:
- Respect natural resources (air, water, soil) through optimized agronomic interventions and rationalization of external inputs;
- Produce high-quality raw materials that are most suitable for our transformation process;
- Ensure the health safety of the final product.

This is achieved through continuous crop monitoring and implementing self-control measures during production, such as frequent soil, plant, and pathogen analyses. Crop rotation is practiced to maintain and improve soil fertility, alternating durum wheat with improving crops (alfalfa, clover, vetch, peas, chickpeas) or renewing crops (sunflower).

The packaging material used for the pasta is the result of ongoing research with industry experts to ensure optimal preservation of the pasta and maximum recyclability of the packaging. Made solely from cellulose derived from wood from forests managed according to strict environmental, social, and economic standards (FSC® label), the bag can be fully disposed of with paper waste. The ATICELCA® 501 UNI 11743 method certifies its recyclability level.
