“Life in Sardinia is perhaps the best a man could wish for: twenty-four thousand kilometers of forests, countryside, coasts, immersed in a miraculous sea coincides to what I would recommend to the good Lord to give us as Paradise.” (F. De Andrè)

Sardinia is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea after Sicily, located west of the Italian Peninsula. Its territory is so diverse that the island has been defined as a “micro-continent”, with travellers falling in love with the region’s wild mountains, the woods and valleys which hide precious remains of the Nuragic civilization, the beautiful sandy beaches as well as the rocky ones which fall into the crystal sea. The Spanish influence introduced Sardinia to foreign customs and traditions, as well as typical dishes and new olive varieties.
Going to Sardinia, you will be fascinated by the wide presence of millenials olive trees located in the red soils of the inner part of the island, as well as near the coastline. One of the best-known Sardinia cultivars is the Bosana, whose name probably derived from the city Bosa, near Alghero. Other olive varieties are Tonda di Cagliari, Tonda or Nera di Villacidro (which can be found in one of the most qualitative EVOO areas of the island), Semidana and the Pizz’e Carroga, which is typical of the southern part (near Cagliari) and is widely used as pickled olive.
Sardinia has 1 PDO, the Sardegna PDO, whose oils are obtained from the Bosana, Tonda di Cagliari, Nera (Round) di Villacidro and the Semidana olive varieties, which must make up at least 80% of the composition of the EVO oil.

Bosana – Accademia Olearia

In monocultivar Bosana EVO oil we can find not only the typical aromas of the Sardinian territory and that of the coasts of our Italian peninsula (aromatic herbs, spices, fruit, citrus fruits and green vegetables), but also a natural inclination to go with pasta, pizza and cheese.

Trama – Dore

Trama EVO oil is a Bosana monocultivar produced in Sardinia. Trama EVOO is consistent with its territory, and versatile, capable of bringing traditional dishes to a tastier and more sustainable future. Read our review to learn more.

Gran Riserva Giuseppe Fois – Accademia Olearia

Sardinia lands have been dedicated to olive cultivation for millennia, and we can only be happy that especially in recent times this vocation has also been a synonym of high quality. Gran Riserva Giuseppe Fois is a perfect example of this union.
