Madreterra is a small organic company from Calabria that intends to carry out the ambitious and ethical project of wanting to protect the health of consumers by offering healthy food, in the deep conviction that food safety begins with the producer. The company was founded in 2014 by Edoardo Giudiceandrea, after he had worked in an industrial sector company for 25 years as an engineer with managerial positions. The choice to abandon a prestigious job has its roots in the search for a closer relationship with the cycles of nature, which would concretize the desire to participate in the construction of a better world. And so a 4-hectare olive grove in Calopezzati, bequeathed to him by his father, became the first step towards MadreTerra.
In Calopezzati, a medieval village in Calabria, located on a hill overlooking the nearby Ionian Sea (a few km south of Corigliano-Rossano) we produce oil, honey and citrus fruits in total respect of natural cycles and without using pesticides, not even those allowed. from the regulations governing organic farming. We firmly believe, as consumers and as food producers, that the traceability of products must be absolute and extended to the entire supply chain, because only in this way does it become credible.
For this reason, our products are divided into lots, which identify the plot where the harvest was made and the period of production.
Furthermore, to better guarantee the traceability and quality of the final product, all the production phases of the Madreterra oil are managed directly by us: we cultivate our olive groves, we collect the olives, we transport them within a few hours to our oil mill to obtain the oil that we store and pack before selling directly, with the utmost respect for nature, places and people.Our goal is to reach those people who share our principles and thus to spread the products of an agriculture based on a lifestyle choice based on the values of well-being, ecology and care of the fertility of our Motherland.
