MARCHE EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL - AGOSTINI

GETTING THE BEST FROM OUR OLIVES

Our olive groves are located at the base of the Ash valley between the Sibillini mountains and the Adriatic Sea where the air is fresh and pure and the climate is ideal for the cultivation of olives.

The intense green of the hills and the blue of the sea are the predominant colours of our beautiful landscape in which the oil production tradition of Frantoio Agostini originated.

The art of producing oil was developed since the Roman times and in 1945 Alfredo Agostini began to produce his own oil starting with a small oil mill. Since then it has been handed down to the family for generations. Currently his son Gaetano, together with his sons Marco and Elia, and his brother Maurizio continue to manage the family company.

Our reverent bond with agriculture last for over a century. We know the difficulties of our job and this is why we have a profound respect for our territory and its precious fruits such as the olives we chose and that chose us.

Our passion has grown over the years preserving the principles of high quality, sustainability and innovation, while achieving the quality objectives we set for ourselves about producing high quality extra virgin olive oils across 3 generations.
