3 Azienda Agricola Bova Paolo is placed in Amaroni, a little centre of Calabria, south Italy, in the province of Catanzaro. It was founded by Raffaele Bova, a passionate olive grower who lived in Swisse for many years, and now his work is carried on with his sons. The Bova Family comes from several generations of little oil and honey producers and now days it still has a good name all over the region Calabria, proven by the fact that much of the oil production is still sold by work of mouth. For these people the use of oil has become tradition, culture, myth. 1

4 Meet the oil factory Bova Manca del Bosco is one of the company pioneer in organic since 1991, year of the first Organic Certification, in addition to the 1st Place for the Best Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil of Calabria. Bova is a producer who has been capable to associate tradition and innovation, improving qualitative standards of his olive oil, conducting optimally the entire product row and advantaging the agronomic transformation practices, all that in order to have an high-quality extra virgin olive oil.

5 Our organic extra virgin olive oil Bova Extra Virgin Olive Oil comes from the autichton variety of olives named Carolea, existing in our territory by a long way. For its organolephtic characteristics, Bova s oil lends itself to numerous uses. It is not overmuch sour or spicy, but it is delicate and savory, elegant and fruity. In the year 2010, our oil achieved an 8 during the International Degustation Panel Test. The difference between bio and conventional production, other than keeping with the concern of genuine quality, is that strict attention is paid to the organic properties of the product which determine healthy benefits in balance with our ecosystem. It is important to prevent the attack of Dacus oleae ( olive fly) and that is the reason why our plants are situated in hills, far from the sea where our antagonist lies. 3

6 Strong points The olive-tree cultivation is supported by weather conditions and control agents (hot and dry summer with low humidity, a regular pruning ) that all together don t need specific interventions: - Lack of environmental pollution; - Charlky ground with PH 8; - The only use of organic substance enriched with potassium and phosphorous; - Lack of pesticide; - Cold pressed (extraction) - Use of advanced technology; - No mechanical felting.
