From generation to generation, a farm that hands down the passion for the fruits of our beloved Apulian land
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 selon, mini-smelon and melons.
They are mainly produced in Nardò where the soils overlooking the coast favour cultivation, in fact the sea, the sun and the heat contribute to the maturation until they obtain flavours with an irresistible taste.
This production of excellence is structured to meet the complex needs of Large Organised Distribution (GDO) in Italy and Europe. Agricola Octavius stands as a reliable logistics and commercial partner for GDO, guaranteeing not only a high quality product, but also compliance with strict supply standards, consistent volumes and timely deliveries. Our ability to manage the entire supply chain allows us to effectively serve the main players in the national and European retail market, bringing the authentic flavour of Salento to consumer tables.
AGRICOLA OCTAVIUS is a company immersed in nature handed down from generation to generation.
Grandpato Ottavio together with his young nephew Luigi work side by side, always keeping precision and quality under control.
The accurate and highly selected handpicking, combined with the use of excellent raw materials, guarantee an excellent final product

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.
