"Louianna was proudly selected by the Italian Culinary Institute as the finest olive oil to represent the Molise region, and one of the few to be chosen for our Italian Olive Oil Club in 2004"
-- Paulo Villoresi, Italian Culinary Institute, New York , NY . December 2004.

Suolo e Salute in addition is accredited by WSDA, Washington State department of agriculture for organic accreditation since January 2001, as well as part of the IFOAM international organization.

According to the Italian Trade Commission organic products are those which, in all phases of the productive cycle, do not make use of chemical products (pesticides and fertilizers), and only cultivation and breeding techniques which respect the environment are allowed. To render the soil more fertile, the cultivation is rotated and only organic manure and salts are used to defend the cultivations from parasites. Only techniques and products which do not harm the environment are used. These products are recognizable by the wordings “From organic farming” and indicated on the label is the name of the control organization, the ministerial authorization and a series of letters and numbers that are the “identity card” of the product and the producers.

The distinction of Organic Olive Oil and Regular Olive Oil involves the practices of organic farming. These practices build sustainable soil fertility that deeply nourishes plants, giving the fruit a more concentrated, intense flavor, and nutritional power. There are no genetically engineered crops, sewage sludge, raw manures, synthetic herbicides, pesticides, or fertilizers permitted.

The management for food processing also includes higher standards than that of regular olive oil. These standards certainly protect the integrity of our organic product. The olives must be pressed only at an organic certified mill. Dr. Alessandro Patuto from Solo Salute supervises the mill for the duration of the pressing of olives for Louianna.

The testing of Louianna Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil for its acidity and proxidity is only permitted at approved enrolled bodies. These approved laboratories must be accredited to "SINAL" or in compliance with the UNI CEI EN 45001 regulations.
