Those who live in or tend the olive groves of Guardea know them well. Wild boars often roam our countryside, digging up the soil at the base of the olive trees in search of insects, roots, and other small treasures hidden underground.
Their presence is part of the rural landscape and speaks to the deep connection between the forest and our land.
From August 16 to 23, this star of the natural world also becomes the king of the table with the Wild Boar Festival, one of the most eagerly anticipated events of the summer in Guardea, where traditional recipes meet the authentic flavor ofextra virgin olive oil from the Cooperativa Oleificio di Guardea.
The oil that brings out the flavors of tradition
Wild boar dishes, bruschetta, side dishes, and other recipes prepared during the festival find their ideal companion in the Cooperative’s extra virgin olive oil. Made from olives grown by local olive farmers, our oil enhances every dish with balance, aroma, and authenticity, bringing the character of the Guardea countryside to the table.

At the Wild Boar Festival—August 16–23, 2026— our olive oil is not just a condiment, but a symbol of a community that continues to cherish its traditions. Behind every drop lies the hard work of the cooperative’s members, the care given to the olive groves, and the dedication of the volunteers who, year after year, make this event possible—an event that brings together good food, camaraderie, and local identity.
