Collection: Oliottaviani

Founded in 1905 by Vittorio Ottaviani, the mill began as a modest olive oil mill, at a time when production was still closely linked to traditional techniques and manual care of the product. Vittorio's dedication to an authentic, high quality product laid the foundations of what would become a pillar of Italian olive oil production, combining a passion for tradition and a commitment to excellence.

In the 1950's, the business passed to Vittorio's son Alberto, who together with his wife Paola helped expand the company and introduce new production methods.

Paola's influence proved to be crucial, as she introduced a modern approach without renouncing the artisan principles handed down. At a time when agricultural technology was just beginning to take hold in Italy, Alberto and Paola were able to keep the identity of the mill alive, ensuring the manual processing of the Canino variety of olives, famous for its intense flavour and unique nutritional properties.

Under the leadership of Alberto and Paola, the mill has taken a big step towards modernisation. With the introduction of state-of-the-art machinery, such as modern centrifuges and decanters, the Ottaviani family has managed to increase production efficiency without compromising on artisanal quality. The adoption of advanced technology has made it possible to optimise the extraction process, keeping temperature and timing under control, and guaranteeing an oil with a superior nutritional and taste profile.

3rd generation on the scene

The Oliottaviani oil mill has always remained in family hands, with each generation contributing to its growth and success.

Today, the mill is led by brothers Simone, Matteo and Alessio, who represent the third generation of the Ottaviani family. Under their leadership, the company continues to respect the values and traditions established by the founders, with an unwavering commitment to quality and a deep connection to the territory.
