The story

Why Nicogio

Nicola and Giovanni are two brothers,
lively to say the least.
Nicogio was born for them
and is the most precious fruit of our project.

We wanted to produce a genuine oil for our children,
to nourish them with the experience of making,
to discover the magic of the harvest.

Every year we try to improve,
taking what nature gives us, without shortcuts.

We produce oil in the healthiest and most respectful way possible.
