A story that began in 1906
AGRICOLA CHIERA
The Family of Taste
FARMERS
We are a family. Before being producers, we are guardians of an agricultural tradition that has lasted for over a century. Every bottle of our olive oil, every sip of our wines, and every jar of our preserves holds a story shaped by hard work, land, sun, and passion.
FROM THE MANUFACTURER TO YOUR HOME
We cultivate over 500 hectares of land across Calabria, Puglia—where the sea air reaches the plants—and the Lake Garda region. We select the finest raw materials and personally oversee every stage: production, harvesting, processing, and sales.

What do we love? Bringing the most authentic flavors of our land to your table, with the same care we devote to our family.
With us, you buy directly from the producer. This means authentic products, fair prices, and the certainty that behind every label, it’s us—our name, our story, our face.
Welcome to the Family of Taste
Visit us at our Lugano store near the tills of the Autosilo Comunale Balestra to taste the extra virgin olive oil and wines we produce in Italy.
A 100-year history…
Since 1906, a family story written in the land
In a sun-scorched Calabria, Grandfather Francesco, a determined and visionary man, planted the first olive trees on the slopes of his land. Since then, we have never stopped cultivating both the trees and the dream of bringing truly genuine, good, and honest agricultural products to the table.
In 1988, we grandchildren planted new olive groves in the municipalities of Isca sullo Ionio and Sellia Marina. In 1990, we arrived in Salento, planting both olive groves and vineyards.
Today we have reached the fourth generation, and the spirit of Grandfather Francesco continues to guide us. We have three olive oil mills in Calabria, Puglia, and the Lake Garda region, as well as a winery in Puglia where we produce our wines. We combine traditional methods with modern technologies to respect the environment and enhance every terroir we work in.
WHERE WE PRODUCE
Calabria
A rugged yet generous land, where the sun warms centuries-old olive trees and vineyards, and every drop tells the authenticity of a land unique in the world.
Apulia
Among expanses of olive groves, vineyards, and the sea breeze that caresses the land, we cultivate the intense flavors of the South with expert hands and an open heart.
Lake Garda
A mild climate, gentle breezes, and a unique terroir. Here, an elegant, fresh, and delicately fruity oil is born: Garda.
WHAT WE PRODUCE
From our farm to your table, without intermediate steps.
This means more freshness, more transparency, more quality and more convenience.
OIL
Our olive oil is born from family-owned groves cultivated in Calabria, in Puglia just steps from the sea, and on Lake Garda with its renowned unique microclimate. Choose from delicate, intensely fruity, organic extra virgin, the Coratina single-variety, or the prized Garda selection.
WINE
Our red, white, and rosé wines come to life in the heart of Salento, where the scents of the sea blend with those of the land. We use only selected grapes, hand-harvested and crafted using traditional methods to create authentic, intense wines, perfect for any occasion.
PRESERVES IN JARS
Authentic flavors preserved in our olive oil: sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, eggplants, and carefully selected tuna, crafted according to tradition and ready to enjoy. Perfect for a rich appetizer, a genuine aperitif, or to add a special touch to your dishes.
