Erede Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1180mg/kg | Francesco Pepe

Check the official lab-analysis

Erede is a certified organic extra virgin olive oil naturally rich in polyphenols (1180mg/kg), produced from centenary Marinese trees in the hills of Irpinia.

Erede is a tribute to heritage — a certified organic extra virgin olive oil born from approximately 300 centenary olive trees cultivated in the hills of Irpinia, Campania.

Produced by Francesco Pepe, this monocultivar expression of Marinese — a native variety and recognised Slow Food Presidio — reflects continuity, regeneration and deep family roots. The olives are harvested early and cold extracted within hours to preserve freshness, structure and aromatic precision.

Naturally rich in polyphenols (1180mg/kg), Erede opens with vibrant green notes and almond leaf, evolving into refined bitterness and a persistent peppery finish. The profile is structured yet balanced, elegant yet decisive — a clear expression of its hillside terroir.

This is an oil of identity and integrity, crafted from restored groves that once stood abandoned and are now brought back to life.

SUGGESTED MATCHING FOOD

Ideal raw over tomato bruschetta, grilled vegetables, seasonal salads and legumes. Excellent with steamed fish and delicate white meats. Its structure also enhances rustic soups and warm grain dishes.

WELLNESS MORNING ROUTINE

Beyond the kitchen, Erede is often enjoyed as part of a simple morning ritual. A small spoon taken neat before breakfast allows its vibrant character to be fully appreciated — the gentle bitterness and persistent peppery finish naturally reflecting its rich polyphenol content. Consumed raw, it preserves its freshness and structure, offering a pure expression of the fruit at the start of the day.
