The olive tree is always been considered by humanity a sacred plant, often used to accompany numerous rites and religious ceremonies.

Even today, this plant is of great symbolic importance for the whole humanity, which is why at Villa Campestri Olive Oil Resort we celebrate the important moments of life with the olive oil rite.

The symbolic meaning of the Olive

The ancient Mediterranean civilization recognized the sacred significance of the olive, linked to the value of Peace.

The olive tree is a symbol of justice and respect among humanity. It was not by chance that the twig brought from the dove to Noah at the end of the Universe Flood was olive wood,

Even the Greeks considered this plant as sacred, constantly present in Homeric poems.

Many cultures of different historical epochs have used oil during ceremonial rites.

The ancient tradition shows us many uses even of the wood of olive trees. It was used for construction, ornaments and household or agricultural utensils.

The wood of this sacred plant was also used as a therapeutic remedy, to cook and lighten or to make the skins soft and shiny.

Italy and the olive tree

The olive is a tree of austere and rare beauty: the height does not exceed twelve meters, while its life is long, until it becomes multi-century.

The plant has a slow development, with sometimes curious and unusual bends, determined by the bitterness of the environment.

The base is usually knotted and mighty, this characteristic gives it a mystical air, with its gray green leafs resistant to all climates.

Italy has olive trees all over its territory: in laughing landscapes near the lakes or hills of many regions that, because of the olive trees, have an attractive appeal.

In the dry, sun-drenched area of the sun, like Puglia, the olive tree, with its green gray foliage, gives life and beauty to the landscape.
