How Amaltea was born

Amaltea is a small agricultural company born in 2008 among the Woods of Rivalto Chianni. Our passion for the land has led us to rethink our lives by starting again with daily direct contact with nature. We started with the care of a small olive grove that already existed on the land, from which we began to produce extra virgin olive oil. Over the years, we have developed a small production of aromatic and medicinal plants, inspired by the principles of permaculture and organic agriculture.

We are also passionate about gathering and using wild plants, always striving to deepen our knowledge of their properties and characteristics, as well as their use for food and medicine.

We love animals we share our home with two dogs, Selva and Astra, a cat, Mirtilla, and a few hens. Over time, our family and our projects have grown, and this led us to build a straw-bale house: a place where we can welcome people and host activities. Amaltea is now also THIS HOME a breathing house with a minimal environmental impact, warm in winter and cool in summer, welcoming and shaped by earthy colours, the scent of wood, and decorations inspired by natural forms.
