The value and passion for the territory
For our family making oil is a work and a passion that has been handed down for generations. It was 1966 when my father Otello decided to undertake this adventure by taking over the ancient oil mill in which he had worked since he was a boy. The olives, which in the beginning were crushed with the old stone millstones, are today processed with modern machinery of the highest technology and forefront for cold extraction. We are proud to carry on the family tradition and our father Otello's passion in producing high quality extra virgin olive oil.
Since I was a child I smelled the scent of freshly pressed oil and listened to the noise of the machines and the drops of oil falling into the containers, but I never thought that this would become my job. Over the years, the love for this activity and the passion passed on to me by my father pushed me to dedicate myself full time to the oil mill, supporting my father Otello in all aspects of production, sales and company management. Today, with my sister Emanuela, we continue this path with dedication, also introducing substantial innovations aimed at improving the quality of the product and enhancing our territory.
The first days were difficult, I relied above all on my father, from whom I learned techniques and secrets of the trade, but I also tried to grow thanks to my initiative, sometimes closing my eyes to identify the noises of the engines or making an effort to recognize the quality and characteristics of the oil. I have learned a lot in these twenty years, but there is still so much to discover. My aim is to continue this wonderful lifestyle with the foundation that has been laid in the past and with an eye towards the future.
