Ted Puglia, an olive harvest with a paper trail
A Dutch couple documents the purchase of a hillside in Puglia and invites readers to reserve a limited amount of oil from its first olive harvest.
Field notes
The project tracks a specific parcel in the Ostuni–Cisternino–Ceglie Messapica triangle, where the owners describe about 150 century-old Leccino trees and a deteriorating trullo. Its timeline runs from viewing six plots in August 2025 to the notary signing in January 2026, infrastructure work, pruning, and a planned first harvest from 25 October to 3 November 2026. The final bottle size, quantity, price, and certification remain unsettled.
