When you think of Italian extra virgin olive oil, you probably imagine silky drizzles on fresh bread or a finishing touch on a Tuscan salad. But olive oil is more than a kitchen ingredient — it’s a cultural treasure, a natural remedy, and a surprisingly versatile tool.
Come and walk through our groves in Paciano, Umbria, breathe the scent of the earth, and taste olive oil at its freshest. Join us for a slow living vacation — from olive harvest to cooking classes — and discover why Il Fontanaro Olive Oil is more than food: it’s our way of life.
At Il Fontanaro, olive oil is more than a product — it’s our family’s life, heritage, and passion.
Our story begins with a love story: when Lucia and Alessandro married, they gave each other the most meaningful wedding gift — an olive grove. This gift was not just a piece of land, but the continuation of a tradition that had already been alive for generations. Our nonni were already making olive oil, passing down not only the groves but also the knowledge, care, and respect for the land.
