About Us

The best fruit in the heart of Salento

Many years of experience in watermelon cultivation has led the "Agricola Octavius" company to select and cultivate, on about 200 hectares in the areas of Nardò, Lecce and Brindisi, different varieties of watermelon, mini-melon and melons.

Vengono prodotti principalmente a Nardò dove i terreni che si affacciano sulla costa favoriscono la coltivazione, infatti il mare, il sole e il caldo contribuiscono alla maturazione fino a ottenere dei sapori dal gusto irresistibile.

Oranges, clementines, lemons

Our citrus fruits are produced and harvested in the Palagiano and Massafra plains.

 

What facilitates and promotes the growth and ripening of the fruit, giving them excellent characteristics is undoubtedly the hot, sunny and not very humid climate of the Gulf of Taranto.
