Ginestra
The Ginestra oil from Frantoio Giocondo de Santis recalls our land for a mature, bitter and spicy flavor and suitable for all types of uses.
We produce oil thinking of our children
We live our daily life in our olive groves and in our oil mill thinking of our children. We grow organically and the production of our oil has been part of our family’s history since 1930.
Our oils are born in San Vito Chietino – Costa dei Trabocchi – an area between the sea and the hills where the families of small farmers, which are our partners in the supply chain, have always harvested olives to make “home oil“.
Salsedine
It is our most important oil, born from the desire to create an oil with a strong character and personality.
Libeccio
It is our slightly more eccentric oil, born from the desire to create an oil with a fresh, lively and floral character yet at the same time delicate.
Estro
The most characteristic oils of our Frantoio; those with whom we like to surprise you and give you the opportunity to amaze. For a special event or “simply” to explore new exciting flavors.
Our shop
Our land is
our Abruzzo
Abruzzo is for us the territory of San Vito Chietino, made of sandstone and stone hills, a land that includes the family passion of local farmers who contribute to making this land to be a part of the production of our olive oil.
Family tradition
A family oil. For families.
Since 1930, five generations have guarded and enhanced the family oil mill to make it an activity full of passion and craftsmanship.
Experiences
Very cordial and highly trained Frantoiani! Oils with interesting aromas and flavors, you just have to try them.
An experience, a place, an oil and people that we will remember from our trip to Abruzzo!
On holiday in August in San Vito Chietino, we visited and met the oil mill and purchased its wonderful extra virgin olive oil in the two variants: Salsedine and Ginestra which we have bought back now as they are of superior quality at an absolutely honest price. Great kindness and availability also with regard to home delivery. Well done! You know how to enhance the excellence of your territory. Soon!
In addition to the great competence and the great attention to technological innovations to obtain an oil of the highest quality (always in unity with traditions), the owners perceive a true love for this work. The visit to their olive groves is very informative and fascinating. The three oils we tasted (being profane they taught us the correct method of oil tasting) were phenomenal, not for nothing we immediately ordered some milk of oil. If you can and have time, my dispassionate advice is to call to book a visit!
As a child, the pressing of the olives was a feast that I looked forward to, I played in the mill with the other kids in the neighborhood and listened to the tales of the elderly who were waiting for the pressing of their olives to be completed.
Today our extra virgin olive oils are at the top of the Gambero Rosso guide
