DISCOVER SAPIENTE

"Cultivation" and "culture" claim the same etymology. "Sapere",
is the Italian for to know and to taste: this word is perfect for Sapiente project.
If the names carry meaning, in the case of our young
reality, we also imagine them as carriers of the future.

Our Oil Mill

"Inches - La Natura delle idee" was born on July 30th 2011 in Morre in the municipality of Baschi, on the northern slope of the Croce di Serra, in the enchanting Umbria. The southern part of this region, located between Todi and Orvieto, is a land of difficult and complete geography, complex to work but able to pay you back with an EVO oil of high quality. Our olive groves are included in the municipalities of Montecchio, Baschi, Todi, Avigliano. Our mill is IT BIO 009 CU 18e certified for cold extraction.

Our oils can be purchased at the Oil Mill. If you cannot come and visit us, contact us by email or phone to reserve your oil and we will send it to you at home.

 
 

Progetto Tellus 5.0.

Our project starts with essential conditions, not only productive but also philosophical, shared by all. The idea of regaining possession of a supply chain that makes the final consumer a protagonist of the process leading to quality has resulted in a wide-ranging community project. The Tellus 5.0 Project is a project embracing a Community Cooperative that is emerging from the collaboration with the municipal administration of Baschi. The program also includes the recovery of abandoned olive groves and the propagation, in new plants, of endangered native cultivars recovered by the CNR of Perugia.

 
 
 

ZERO EMISSIONS

Permaculture, green manure, self-seeding legumes, planting patterns, conservative pruning, crop associations and recovery of by-products. It is not a choice. It is the only grammar of the future.
 

ZERO WASTE

Territorial microeconomics represent a sustainable response to the environmental, social and cultural desertification that is globalization. This is both through rational and conservative management of resources - including the fight against genetic erosion that increasingly aggressive forms of super-intensive farms entail- and through a sales process based on direct references and product reservations.
 

ZERO STORAGE

In the internal production chain, crushing the olives that have just arrived at the mill is the first essential step towards quality. In the cultural field it is the resistance to forms of forced urbanization, the need for storage and conservation, surreptitious packaging and marketing policies.
 

ZERO MARKET

On the one hand, the global market evokes illusory freedom of consumption, on the other it makes choices uniform and flattens the level of taste perception by proposing homologated and homologating consumer goods. "Inside the territory, out of the market": an apparent oxymoron, a courageous holism that must be created to defend the differences proposed by the territory and their intrinsic unrepeatability.
 

ZERO CULTURAL DISTANCE

Relational economies and emotional consumption. It is the cultural zero km. It involves a deep knowledge of the producer and of the area in which he operates (isotopic traceability). It involves an awareness that includes the consumer in the production chain and makes it an active protagonist of quality. It is a small yet great cultural revolution that tends to the re-appropriation of the self and to a different and deeper concept of well-being.
