About Podere il Montaleo
Origins... 1846 - My grandfather Antonio Morelli described the purchase of the property to his son as follows: "...I bought it for 100 scudi, to be paid after a year, 4 sacks in Montaleo. This can be considered the Eden of Casale."
2009 - After over 160 years, Cesare Diddi Mussi, at the age of 19, having completed his higher education, moved to the family's countryside residence, specializing in the production of extra virgin olive oil. From the original four sacks, today we have three hectares of land.
The mill 2019 - After the completion of construction work, a new adventure begins:
"This is the dream I've had since I opened the agricultural company. It is what will allow me to create something from start to finish, without the work of others altering or modifying my product. It is what will truly help me understand where I need to improve because from that moment on, the final result will depend solely on my work."
