FRANTOIO ULIVI DI LIGURIA

The Azienda was founded in 1930 in Pietrabruna, a charming village with a secular olive-growing tradition. Pietrabuna is located in the entroterra of Imperia and dominates a scenic and salubrious mid-hill valley. The founder was Filippo Guasco, a frantoiano from a family that has always practiced the cultivation of olive trees – the amazing icon that adorns the Mediterranean coasts. The first oil mill – traditionally driven by a mule turning the millstone and the wooden press – was in Torre Paponi, where the Azienda still stands today. Filippo’s son, Stefano, is a quality pioneer -also as regards the medicinal properties of his oil. The crushing of the finest olives has continued and developed thanks to his son Edoardo and grandson Stefano, an unfailing taster, now assisted by Federica and Alberto. The experience of four generations allows the pressing of excellent, carefully selected olives supported by the most modern equipment and technology.
