Don Gioacchino D.O.P. EVOO

Don Gioacchino – The Essence of Puglia’s Excellence in a Bottle

Some olive oils are made to be used. Others are created to be remembered. Don Gioacchino from Azienda Agricola Leone Sabino belongs to this exceptional category. An extraordinary extra virgin olive oil where the soul of Puglia, centuries-old tradition and the pursuit of perfection come together. It is no coincidence that Don Gioacchino was awarded World No. 1 according to the WBOO ranking 2025/2026.

The story of Sabino Leone begins in the heart of Puglia, a region where olive trees have shaped the landscape for centuries. The Leone Sabino family estate is renowned for its dedication to quality, respect for nature and profound knowledge of olive cultivation. From generation to generation, the art of selecting the finest olives, choosing the perfect harvest moment and processing them with care has been preserved.

Don Gioacchino is produced from the famous Coratina olive, an indigenous variety from Puglia that is highly appreciated worldwide by lovers of distinctive olive oils. The olives are harvested early to preserve maximum freshness, complexity and the natural power of the fruit. Immediately after harvesting, they are carefully processed into an oil with extraordinary aromatic intensity.

When opening the bottle, a rich and refined aromatic profile is revealed. Fresh green notes of freshly cut grass, olive leaf and green almond are complemented by elegant aromas of artichoke, wild herbs and a subtle hint of tomato leaf. A fragrance that immediately evokes the freshness of an early harvest and the Mediterranean landscape of Puglia.

On the palate, Don Gioacchino is powerful yet perfectly balanced. The first impression is fresh and fruity, followed by a pleasant bitterness that is characteristic of premium Coratina olive oils. A refined peppery sensation gradually develops, creating a long and elegant finish. The harmony between fruitiness, bitterness and spiciness gives Don Gioacchino an impressive depth of character.

This exceptional olive oil reveals its full potential when its unique character is allowed to shine. Enjoyed pure with fresh bread, Don Gioacchino becomes a true experience for the olive oil enthusiast. It is also perfect with grilled fish, seafood, carpaccio, fresh salads, roasted vegetables and classic Italian dishes. Even simple pasta recipes gain an extraordinary new dimension with this oil.

Don Gioacchino is not just an olive oil, but an expression of terroir, tradition and passion. A masterpiece from Puglia that demonstrates how exceptional extra virgin olive oil can be when nature and craftsmanship come together.
