The products
Since 1545, the Rende agricultural farm has been producing quality, organic EVO olive oil and durum wheat.
Durum wheat
The organic durum wheat produced by our company is a high quality product with a long historical tradition.
The cultivation of durum wheat in Calabria has ancient roots, dating back to the time of the Greeks and Romans, who already produced this cereal in this vocated area. Azienda Agricola Rende follows this centuries-old tradition, using organic farming techniques and respecting the surrounding environment.
Our organic durum wheat is characterized by a series of nutritional properties that make it a highly appreciated food for its goodness and healthiness. In particular, organic durum wheat contains a greater amount of protein than other types of wheat and a large amount of dietary fiber.
Organic durum wheat is also rich in vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin E, vitamin B, iron, zinc and magnesium, which contribute to strengthening the immune system and improving the health of the body.
Inoltre, il nostro grano duro biologico ha un sapore intenso e deciso, che lo rende ideale per la produzione di pasta, pane e dolci tipici della tradizione calabrese e per portare i sapori del Mediterraneo in tavola.

Nutritional Values
Quality parameters of our durum wheat
Protein Content: High protein content represents the basic nutrition of wheat, with values often above 12-14%. This underlines its suitability for high-quality baked goods and pasta.
Specific weight: A high specific gravity is a sign of dense and compact grain, indicating better yield during milling and a more consistent paste.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
The extra virgin olive oil produced by Azienda Agricola Rende is a product of the highest quality, made from ancient and local varieties of olives grown with passion and attention to tradition.
The olives used for the production of our oil are harvested according to modern techniques with harvesters, so as to ensure maximum care and attention to the quality of the product. The milling takes place in a short time, within a few hours of harvesting, to preserve the organoleptic characteristics of the extra virgin olive oil as much as possible.
Our extra virgin olive oil stands out for its intense, fruity and decisive flavour, characterized by notes of aromatic herbs and a bitter and spicy aftertaste. Its acidity is extremely low, confirming its high quality and the attention paid to production.
Due to the cultivation of ancient and local varieties, the olive oil produced by Azienda Storica Rende is characterized by greater aromatic complexity and richer natural antioxidants.
The extra virgin olive oil produced by the Azienda Storica Rende is ideal for enhancing the flavor of Mediterranean cuisine, and represents an excellent choice for those who want to taste an authentic, high-quality product, coming from a company that respects tradition and nature
