The Homestead

Sa Mandara

Family Grove Since the early 1900s
Trees 700+
Cultivar Nera di Villacidro, Nera di Gonnos, Bosana, Semidana

Sa Mandara has been part of Enrico’s family since the early 1900s and is now our home grove, with more than 700 olive trees ranging from newly planted saplings to trees over 200 years old.

Alongside the olives, we grow fruit, vegetables, citrus, pears, and almonds, while caring for the land through sustainable and regenerative practices and slowly shaping it into a self-sustaining permaculture homestead for future generations.

The Oil

Our oil is made from our family-owned and operated groves in Villacidro, Sardinia.

We use the "Nera di Villacidro" and "Bosana" cultivars. We are currently planting the cultivar Semidana to add to our line.

Yes, here are our latest lab results: 2024 Lab Results

We follow organic farming practices recognized under Italian standards. However, due to costs and bureaucracy, we are not currently certified organic.

Bottling & labeling are done 100% by us in Sardinia, Italy. We seal everything and ship it ready for delivery.

We’re not DOP/IGP certified yet. Because our groves are divided among several family members, the process is a bit complicated at the moment. As we continue growing, we’re investing in new groves that will eventually make certification possible.

For now, we focus on being transparent—each bottle has a QR code with full traceability, we share our lab analyses, and we show our harvest practices openly. Our cultivars (Nera di Villacidro, Bosana, and Semidana) are all traditional Sardinian varieties included in the Sardegna DOP category.

We know many customers like to reuse their bottles. Our lids are “anti-tamper,” which is required in the EU, so they’re designed not to come off and can’t be put back on once removed.

If you’d still like to reuse the bottle, you can gently remove the lid using light heat or pliers. After that, a standard olive-oil spout will fit the bottle neck so you can enjoy it again.

Sometimes a small air pocket in the lid can slow the pour. If that happens, just tilt the bottle neck downward and give the bottom a gentle pat, like you would with a glass ketchup bottle. That usually releases the air and the oil will flow normally.

Obìa

Oh-BEE-Uh (emphasis on the Bì)

Obìa means "Olive" in the Sardinian language 

Our logo is based on an ancient Sardinian design called the "Pintadera". The meaning of the design is still a mystery, but some speculate that it is a type of lunar and solar calendar.

Shipping & Distribution

After each years harvest, we ship the sealed bottles, packed and bubble wrapped, all in one shipment to our climate-control storage in Cincinnati, Ohio. From there, we work with a small business to pack and ship the packages, this keeps delivery fast and shipping costs low, rather than shipping each package directly from Italy.

We currently ship to the USA and Canada.

Due to the nature of our product, we do not accept returns.

If your package hasn’t arrived, please contact us within 30 days of the shipping date. We’ll review the tracking details and investigate with the carrier. If the package is confirmed lost or undelivered, we’ll issue a refund or send a replacement.

While we do everything we can to protect our products during shipping, on rare occasions an item may arrive damaged. If that happens, please reach out to us within 10 days of receiving your package and include a few photos of the issue. This helps us improve our packaging and allows us to file a claim with the carrier.

Once we receive your message, we’re happy to make it right—damaged items can be refunded or reshipped, whichever you prefer.
