 The association was founded in 1992 by four farmers’ cooperatives of the area:

bulletMarcellina Farmers’Cooperative (Marcellina)
bulletSCAT                                         (Tivoli)
bulletSCAGM                                     (Guidonia – Montecelio)
bulletThe Cherries                              (S. Angelo Romano)

 For years now these four associations have chosen to privilege the quality, rather than the quantity, of the olive oil they produce.  

The technologies here adopted respect the natural growth and ripening stages of the olives, stages well known in the millenary local tradition and described in the treatise De Re Rustica (About Agriculture) by Lucio Giunio Moderato Columella, one of the most famous agronomists of the ancient times.

 It is to this eminent author that the COSAR managers decided to link the name of their extra-virgin olive oil, produced in complete accordance with that ancient tradition which alone can assure its absolute and unquestionable quality.
