The farm
Olive mill
since 1958.
One family, one mill, three generations. Since 1958 we have grown and pressed our own olives on the hills overlooking the Ionian Sea, following every step through to the bottle. Our farm is certified organic by Bioagricert.

Between sea and hills
Our story begins in 1958 in Mirto Crosia, when brothers Vincenzo and Gaetano Rivitti set out to make the most of the family olive groves. These are hills overlooking the Ionian Sea, full of sun, brushed by the sea breeze and sheltered behind by the Sila mountains. From the very start there was one idea: to make quality oil and look after the best this land has to offer. The oldest trees, centuries old, are Dolce di Rossano, the queen cultivar of the area; alongside them, over the years, we have planted Coratina, Roggianella, Leccino and Frantoio.

Three generations
Over the years the craft has passed from father to son, along with those small secrets of oil-making that are not written down anywhere. Today the third generation runs the mill: the passion is the same as the founders’, the outlook is towards the future.

From grove to bottle
We do everything ourselves, with no middlemen: we tend the groves, harvest the olives, press them at our own mill and bottle the oil. It is a short, direct supply chain that lets us follow every detail and bring to the table an oil that is always fresh and genuine. We make just two, Classico and Selezione, in limited quantities.
The harvest
Quality and technology
From tree to mill in a few hours.
On the hills the olives ripen slowly and fully. Our job is to lose nothing of what the land has given: that is why at the mill we work with the most modern extraction technology.
- 01
Harvested and milled straight away
We pick the olives at just the right ripeness and mill them within a few hours, to keep their aroma, flavour and organoleptic qualities intact.
- 02
Cold extraction, tailored
We always extract the oil cold, but not all olives want the same temperature: each cultivar is processed at the temperature best suited to bringing out the fruitiness, bitterness and pungency of that variety. The result is an extra virgin olive oil with very low acidity and rich in polyphenols.
- 03
Stored away from oxygen
Right after separation the oil is filtered, then stored in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature and under inert gas: shielded from oxygen, light and heat, it keeps the aromas formed during extraction intact.
“Superior category olive oil obtained directly from olives and solely by mechanical means.”
