The olive mill, open to you


Every autumn, the whole year comes down to a few weeks in the grove and at the mill: il frantoio. This year, after a dry summer and a promising crop, we want you there with us.

Il Frantoio is our way of sharing the 2026 harvest as it happens: from the mill, from the grove, and at the table when the new oil is ready. Along the way, you become an olive oil connoisseur: learning what goes into an extraordinary oil, and how to taste it like one.
