The Aldobrandeschi oil mill rises above the foothills of Campagnatico, a typical medieval village set in the Tuscan hills of the Maremma, near Grosseto and halfway between the Tyrrhenian Sea and Monte Amiata; the mill is run as a Co-operative and boasts a membership of some three hundred, each of whom contributes his knowledge of farming to produce the high quality extra virgin olive oil, Fior d'Olio.

The mill's greatest asset is without question its privileged geographical position which is highly propitious for the cultivation of olive groves. The olive tree is a marvellous plant with exceptional qualities: its trunk is gnarled and rugged, its crown of silvery foliage flutters at the whim of the wind, reminding one of the life of the peasants who worked the land. A life that at times was arduous, bitter and tough.

The olives are pressed at the mill by modern mechanical grindstones that operate in a continuous cycle. The entire process is supervised by a skilled workforce which follows each production phase. Fior d'Olio, a high quality, first cold pressed and unfiltered extra virgin olive oil for the discerning and health conscious consumer who bedecks his table with this pure and robust olive oil with a highly distinctive flavour.
