La Gallinella d’Oro - the Little Golden Hen - has a different
story altogether from the hen in the Aesop’s fable, because
she’s connected to a man who learned from the beginning how to
give proper value to the fruits of the earth: Roberto
Gallinella.
Roberto wasn’t born a farmer, but he was
lucky enough - so he says - to get the chance to change his
life, in time for responding to the call of the land, which he
felt very strongly, since he was a kid. As far as he can
remember, the taste of olive oil has been one of those that
conquered him, right after his weaning. And when he seized the
opportunity to buy his patch of land and move to the
countryside, he happened to find one enriched by some very
ancient olive trees, which he treated with the care and respect
they deserved.
So, he simply limited every
intervention to the minumun, letting nature take its course,
without forcing its ways and times. And his olive trees, the
ones he took over from the Etruscan hills of Pitigliano,
rewarded him generously. Therefore, since he wouldn’t have been
able to consume all the oil he produced and an increasing number
of friends showed their appreciation, Roberto decided to share
its taste with whomever likes to rediscover an authentic
flavour, ancient yet timeless. The same one he puts on his own
table every day, to remind himself what a satisfaction it is to
cultivate your own dreams.
