Gabrielloni: an olive grove, a family, a history
Three generations, an undying passion and a home region that combines natural beauty, culture and hard work: these are the ingredients underlying the secret of the superb quality of Gabrielloni olive oil. Then there are the values that, right from the start, have stood behind this renowned olive oil born in the hills of Recanati, in the Marche region, through the efforts of all involved. Seriousness and know-how, passion and commitment.
Drawing on their inherited knowledge and unflagging commitment to their work, season after season Elisabetta, Gabriella and Sonia Gabrielloni turn out widely praised extra-virgin olive oil, along with other products whose quality is never less than superlative.
Nothing is taken for granted, every step and decision is made with the utmost care and attention, from pruning the trees to pressing the olives, right up to the bottling of the olive oil. There is no other way to ensure that Gabrielloni extra-virgin olive oil continues to meet the standards of excellence confirmed by awards won both in Italy and internationally.
A scent of olive oil fills this elegant, well cared-for production facility where time-honoured knowledge and modern technology are combined to provide the consumer with faultless quality and nutritional security. The mill is a modern plant run with cutting-edge equipment but also deep-rooted traditions.
The system used to mill the olives gives the olive oil distinctive, unmatched qualities, but the traditional process, more than any other type of production facility, calls for an artisan’s experience and in-depth knowledge of olive oil manufacturing in order to turn out the top-flight final product. Note: traditional process doesn’t mean extraction but squeezing out. The hand-picked olives reach the mill fresh. Carefully selected, stripped of their leaves and washed, the olives are ground by enormous granite millstones. Each stage of the production process is carried out cold.
The result is a clear green olive oil without any impurities, rich in anti-oxidants, destined to keep its scent and qualities unchanged over time. The Gabrielloni mill is a one-of-its-kind olive-oil shop, with visitors being warmly welcomed throughout the year. Courses in olive-oil tasting are held, along with products and delicacies of regional cuisine, as well as walks through the olive groves, bringing together olive growers, gourmets, aficionados and friends.
