A Taste of Justice: Students Harvest Olive Oil

The students of the Castelvenere Hospitality Institute today completed the olive harvest on the land belonging to the property confiscated from crime on Via Tabaccaro, which has been a ‘Libera’ outpost for several years and is named after Angelo Mario Biscardi. The initiative is part of the project promoted by Ipseoa Castelvenere, in collaboration with the ‘Libera’ association and the municipal administration led by Mayor Alessandro Di Santo. The students, accompanied by teachers Elia Scetta, Massimo D’Orsi, and Caterina Luciano (legal advisor) and the deputy mayor of Castelvenere Raffaele Simone along with the delegated councilor Gianni Pascale, were the protagonists of a ‘special’ day that will bear fruit in a few weeks when ‘The Oil that Does… Good’ will be ready. ‘The few bottles of oil that will be produced from the olives harvested today,’ says Mayor Di Santo, ‘will be one of the gifts we will give to the authorities who will be guests in our community throughout the year.’ ‘The project of the Hospitality Institute consists of a study, research, and experimentation activity involving the students of the Ipseoa Castelvenere’s food and wine sector, promoting the enhancement of the territory with the use of a property confiscated from crime that has been uncultivated and abandoned for several years. Following the olive harvest, the milling in the oil mill and bottling will take place in the coming days, along with the labeling that will be carried out by the students at school,’ concludes the mayor.
