An old Umbrian tradition

The story of our oil mill goes back to a long family tradition that, from generation to generation, has left the old manufactoring methods over the time almost untouched.

In our little town Grutti, that has grown up by the hard work of the farmers, the grinding of the olives is until today still considered as the most important event of the year. Whoever had the opportunity to assist with it, will surely remain impressed by this ritual, that often ends late in the night in front of the fireplace.

The patient wait, while chatting with friends and having the one or other glass of wine ends, when as if by magic the first drops of oil begin to flow and fill the room with an unforgettable fragrance.

There's nothing left than to roast the bread and taste the first exquisite oil of the season with its intensive and slightly bitter taste.

Unforgettable moments that give us every year new motivation to continue our work, jealous guardians of a tradition made of love and emotion for the nature.

The same love that you will find again in our oil.
