Home Company Products News Contacts The D'Aries company was founded in 1950 at the behest of the forefather D'Aries Ciro born in Lucera on 11 March 1923. At the beginning the D'Aries company only dealt with the marketing of raw table olivespurchased directly from farmers in the Lucera area. The olives only underwent a selection process made entirely by hand and then were placed in wooden crates ready to be sold. The major buyers of the time were olive processing companies, especially in Campania, Lazio and Tuscany. Only after decades from the beginning of this activity, also thanks to the help of his wife Rosa, does he start his own business towards the transformation of olives into semi-finished products. Only after decades from the beginning of this activity, also thanks to the help of his wife Rosa, Ciro starts his own company towards the process of transforming olives into semi-finished products. This type of processing consisted in treating the olives with caustic soda using the so-called "Castelvetrano" method, ie immersing the olives in wooden barrels containing a solution of soda and brine. The semi-finished product thus obtained was substantially purchased by the same loyal customers over time. In 1970 the eldest son Luigi , having finished his studies, begins to work in his father's company, with the increase of the workforce, the customers and the company's turnover inevitably increase, but above all the demand for processed olives increases. In 1975 the second son Domenico also began to work in the company, providing a fruitful collaboration especially in the administrative accounting sector of the company. We come to the ninetieswhen even the youngest son Antonio, after having graduated in Agricultural Sciences, starting to work in the D'Aries company too, begins a process of profound and radical change in the small family-run business.
