The countless fragrances and flavors that characterize the Gonnelli family’s extra virgin oil are the result of years of dedication and care that are sure to satisfy even the most hard to please palate. The press history is a love story that has lasted five centuries, dating back to 1585 when brothers Francesco, Lorenzo and Giulio Gonnelli bought the Santa Tea Farm from the monks of the Carmine convent. The family has passed down the art of olive oil production from generation to generation, while continuously experimenting with new extraction and processing techniques.
Piero Gonnelli has mastered the art of combing tradition and innovation and now successfully distributes his family’s extra virgin olive oil throughout the world. Today’s consumers recognize the importance of high quality extra virgin olive oil, both in terms of adding flavor to a dish and the numerous health benefits associated with it. Through the active involvement of Piero’s daughters—Francesca and Serena—tradition, passion and innovation combine to create a truly exceptional product.
