Adopt an olive tree, save Salento.
In the last 5 years, Xylella has destroyed over 21 million olive trees in Salento , thus canceling years and years of sacrifices of thousands of Salento farmers and the main source of CO2 compensation in Salento.
With Olivami, we want to promote theadoption of Salento olive trees as a response to the devastation brought by Xylella. A new form of sustainable and participatory olive growing , which allows anyone to remotely adopt one or more Salento olive trees, supporting the reforestation of our territory, and obtaining an annual supply of EVO oil with certified origin and quality .
Adopt an olive tree, help us save Salento.

1. To fight against Xylella
In the last 5 years, over 21 million olive trees have disappeared, destroyed by Xylella and over 5,000 olive growers have lost fields, jobs and traditions, reducing the production of Salento oil by 80%.
2. To reduce the environmental impact .
Over the past 5 years, the pollution rate has increased by 8% . Each hectare of olive trees removes 9.5 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere every year. That is about 730 Kg of CO2 per year for each olive tree.
3. To offer a true EVO oil
We want to return to offering our organic extra virgin olive oil , with verified quality and origin, produced with cutting-edge techniques that allow us to have zero environmental impact .

“I thank Olivami for the wonderful idea of involving people with the goal of returning Salento as we all remember it: a large expanse of Olive trees. I am happy to have made my, albeit minimal, contribution. Thank you again for your commitment and kindness in responding, I hope to meet with you soon.”
“The idea is fantastic! I have adopted 5 dedicated to an important love, and I would like to come and visit them one day. The thought that they can survive me for hundreds of years, for my children and grandchildren, makes me happy: – ). Then if I can revitalize a land battered by xylella even better! “
“Beautiful initiative for those who, like me, love Salento and have suffered terribly in seeing the destruction of the olive groves … a small seed of my next life in this wonderful land … now I just have to wait for my plants to grow and taste their fruit !!! Thanks for giving me this chance. “
“Fantastic initiative. Do you think I will adopt other trees later, our Salento deserves it.”
“Beautiful and noble initiative. I hope a lot of people will support it. I will definitely visit the olive tree planted for the birth of my daughter Alice.”
“An act of love for our planet!!! Enough of the usual useless gifts!!! Do good for the whole community as well.”
“Wonderful idea.
Punctual, very kind and very helpful!
Congratulations!”
“It was an opportunity to contribute to an initiative, which is indispensable not only in the present moment, but constitutes a ‘gift’ for the future.
Excellent customer support.”
“Very admirable initiative, effective and easy-to-navigate site. I was only able to adopt 5 olive trees, but the important thing is for everyone to do their part to Save Salento!
Meanwhile, I look forward to meeting them in person!
As a great lover of olive trees, I could only be excited about this initiative!
Bravo!”
Adopt an olive tree in Salento
The olive tree has always been a symbol of rebirth. The Olivami Association was born with this objective: to revive Salento allowing everyone to adopt an olive tree. Adopt an olive tree in Salento . Join us and participate in the rebirth of Salento. By adopting an olive tree you get a Certificate of Adoption and an annual supply of organic EVO oil, 100% from Salento.
Why adopt an olive tree in Puglia?
Puglia was the region most affected by Xylella, the killer bacterium of the olive trees. The production of Puglia oil has dropped by about 80% as a result, with over 20 million olive trees being lost. If we consider that the Apulian production covers about 50% of the entire Italian oil production, this gives an idea of the dramatic impact that the bacterium has had not only on Puglia, but on the whole country.
How does Olivami work?
Olivami is a non-profit association (Olivami ETS – CF 93160150756) which brings together various farms in the province of Lecce. The headquarters are in Martano, in the heart of the so-called Grecìa Salentina , a set of municipalities where the traditions of the ancient Greek culture are still alive, which had a very strong symbol in the Olive tree.
Adopt an olive tree: Leccino or Favolosa?
What are? What is the difference? They are two varieties (so-called ” cultivar “) of olive trees which have proved particularly resistant to Xylella, and which were therefore chosen by Olivami to repopulate the Salento countryside. The two varieties differ mainly in the flavor of the oil and in the appearance of the tree (the crown in particular).
