Ramus Oleae is administered by immigrants already successfully settled in Italy, volunteering alongside Italians to promote integration of marginalized refugees into society. They offer language programs and cultural mediation in addition to medical, psychological, and legal support.
They seek to offer a seasonal, artisanal, certified DOP, cold-pressed extra-virgin olio nuovo, the fully local production of which represents a unique social enterprise employing refugees alongside Italian farmers to tend, harvest, mill, bottle, and prepare a premium product for the international market. More than dignified work and valuable agricultural skills will be imparted. Fallow olive groves, precious patrimony, will be rehabilitated.
Proceeds from the sale of this unique olio nuovo will support the ongoing and growing charitable activities of Ramus Oleae.
