Come to know more about this tradition!

From ancient times to contemporary cuisine.

When our grandfather took over the first olive trees in 1860, production was in its early stages of development. Times were hard, and only with great efforts he managed to keep up the company.

It is thanks to the endurance and the strong will of grandfather Michele Caporiccio that his nephew in their fourth generation can now follow the family tradition. Antonion Mandatori makes it his mission to bring this organic product from ancient times to the contemprary cuisine.

In Italy, the unique taste of Mediterranean cuisine meets joy of life. The olive groves Olii-Mandatori snuggle up to the hillside of the Colline Pontine region, in close proximity to the Eternal City. The specific blend of sea breeze, ideal climate and perfect soil results in the exquisite organic produce of Olii-Mandatori.

Already the ancient Romans highly appreciated this region. They installed important trading points to supply the empire with oil and grain. Via Appia Antica and antique Roman buildings, surrounded by olive groves characterize this landscape until this day.

To save this age-old treasure, the European Union put the olive oils of Colline Pontine under proprietary law (Denominazione d'origine Protetta or D.O.M.).
