Oleificio Giacco 1936

The history of the Oleificio Giacco began more than 80 years ago, thanks to the construction of the first oil mill by Giuseppe Giacco, in a territory, the Calabrian one, which allowed and allows everything ™now the harvest of the Ottobratica, Tonda di Filogaso and Sinopolese olive cultivars.
The harvest generally takes place from October 1st to November 30 through mechanical and manual procedures, exclusively on family land. The pressing of the olives is carried out in the company oil mill within six hours of harvesting, using a continuous cycle mill with cold extraction, in order to keep the organoleptic properties of the extracted oil unchanged. The oil is stored in stainless steel containers in the absence of oxygen and in rooms at a controlled and constant temperature. These precautions allow the olfactory, healthy and gustatory properties of the oil to be maintained unaltered.
