OUR STORY

Deep roots,
sustainable future

Born from the need to work as a team, today we keep innovating, guaranteeing a short, sustainable and authentic supply chain. A journey of passion, commitment and love for the land.

1963

The birth of the cooperative
ACLI RACALE

In 1963 the first headquarters was established near Racale railway station, immediately becoming an important logistics hub for the members' production: the product they delivered was processed and loaded directly onto freight wagons bound for Northern Europe, mainly Germany.

1990

The cooperative enters
the EVO oil sector

Driven by its members, who produced fruit and vegetables and, alongside them, olive oil, in the 1990s the cooperative entered the extra virgin olive oil sector with its first plant for the cold extraction and processing of quality EVO oil.

2008

Construction of the headquarters
on Via Ugento

The cooperative built its new, current headquarters on Via Ugento: a production plant of over 3,000 sq m under cover, equipped with new and innovative processing lines, including the brand-new, state-of-the-art oil mill dedicated exclusively to pressing the best olive harvests of its members and of Salento.

2020

Potato line upgrade

The cooperative acquired new machinery, upgrading its new-potato processing lines and adding state-of-the-art cold rooms for storing and preserving the products.
