There are places where time flows at a different pace. Places where the land, the seasons, and handed-down gestures tell a story that spans generations. Mastrippolito was born precisely from this deep connection with the land.
Behind this project is Riccardo, who grew up amidst the hills and woods of Abruzzo, in Civitella Messer Raimondo, and chose to transform his love for his homeland into a life and work path. A natural choice, matured over time, accompanied by family tradition and a culture that prioritizes quality, respect for nature, and attention to detail.
The passion for extra virgin olive oil and truffles was born here, among selected olive groves and fragrant woods. On one side, the olive trees, guardians of an authentic and intense oil; on the other, the secrets of truffle hunting, learned through experience and stories passed down through time. Knowledge built on patience, sensitivity, deep respect for nature, and love for one's dogs.
Mastrippolito has its roots in Civitella Messer Raimondo, a small village nestled in the Maiella National Park, one of the most authentic and untouched places in Abruzzo. Here, the landscape combines mountains, hills, and a lake, creating an extraordinary microclimate. The pure air, temperature excursions, and rich biodiversity make this area a generous land, capable of offering raw materials of rare quality.
The goal is simple yet ambitious: to bring products designed for quality catering and the gourmet world to the table, capable of enhancing every dish and telling a story made of land, family, and passion.
Mastrippolito is not just a selection of products but a connection to one's roots, work done with care every day, and a desire to share an extraordinary territory through taste.
Our production philosophy
Territory
Everything originates in the heart of Abruzzo, in the Maiella area, one of Italy's most biodiverse regions.
Here, nature still follows its own rhythms, and agriculture maintains an authentic relationship with the land.
The altitude and the purity of the air contribute to creating raw materials with an intense
aromatic profile, an expression of our landscape.
Method
Every stage of our work stems from a simple principle: respecting the raw material.
Olives are harvested at their optimal ripeness and cold-pressed quickly to
preserve their freshness, aromas, and nutritional value. Truffles are carefully selected and processed
through essential methods that enhance their natural qualities without altering their identity. Our sauces
are based on family recipes and made with an artisanal approach, far from the logic of
industrial production.
Destination
Mastrippolito products are designed for those seeking distinctive ingredients. Restaurants, delis, and gourmet
kitchens will find elegant aromas, balance, and personality in these products—elements capable of
enhancing any dish.
Because in the kitchen, as in the land from which everything originates, quality is recognized in the details.
