Here are some beautiful fields with olive trees with silver gray leaves, like clipped willows. I never get tired of the blue sky.

The oil flavors
In 2010, just few years after the beginning of the adventure
At the Patriarca Nicola conceives the idea of a new project: to organize an event in his garden that could enhance the dishes prepared with the extra virgin olive oil.
Involving friends and relatives comes so to life “the oil flavors”.
A gastronomic event based on the formula of the traditional “village festival”.
A proposal of just few dishes , from the paccheri pasta with Neapolitan ragout to the meatballs and French fries, from the “monnarielli” beans soup to the country style salad, to rediscover together the forgotten flavors while chatting and listening to Neapolitan songs.
An event that could not avoid having the contribution of his beloved cousin Ciro, the creator of the poster “the oil flavors”.
Besides, the last three editions enjoyed the special participation of the star chef Peppe Guida from Antica Osteria Nonna Rosa.
You should learn from olive trees to let yourself be shaped by the wind without losing your character.
