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.
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.
