ALARIC, KING OF THE VISIGOTHS, CONQUERED ROME IN 410 AD FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 800 YEARS. WHEN LEAVING ROME, KING ALARIC TAKES WITH HIM ALL THE TREASURES THE CITY HAD ACQUIRED TO TRAVEL SOUTH IN THE ITALIAN PENINSULA. ON ITS WAY TO CALABRIA, ALARIC RUNS OUT OF LUCK AS HE FALLS SICK AND ULTIMATELY DIES. LEGEND HAS IT THAT BY ARRIVING IN THE CITY OF COSENZA, HE FINDS REST IN A SECRET GRAVE WITH ALL HIS VAST TREASURE. THE LEGENDARY ALARIC'S TREASURE IS BELIEVED TO INCLUDE ALSO THE MENORAH OF JERUSALEM.DESPITE ALL OF THE SEARCH EFFORTS THROUGH THE YEARS, THE TREASURE HAS NEVER BEEN FOUND FURTHERING THE MYSTERY.. TODAY COSENZA IS A HILLY CITY BLESSED WITH THE BIODIVERSITY AND SUN TYPICAL OF THE SOUTH OF ITALY. WHILST SOME ARE STILL LOOKING FOR ALARIC'S ORIGINAL TREASURE, FOR US THERE IS ANOTHER TREASURE TO BE FOUND THERE: ITS OLIVE TREES, RICH IN HISTORY AND TRADITION, WHICH WE GROW TO MAKE THIS SMALL PRODUCTION OF ORGANIC EXTRA-VIRGIN OLIVE OIL WHICH WE ARE PROUD TO OFFER YOU.
