Frantoio di Santa Téa - Gonnelli 1585

Frantoio di Santa Téa - Gonnelli 1585 has a very ancient history, with the first records of the oil mill dating back to 1585 when brothers Francesco, Giulio and Lorenzo bought Podere di Santa Téa from the monks, who had attached an oil mill that was already famous and appreciated for its oil.

Today, the oil mill is still run with passion by the Gonnelli family and is a major representative of quality extra virgin olive oil. The great history behind it is certainly an added value thanks to the knowledge and expertise that has been passed down over the years from generation to generation.

Tradition was then combined with innovation. In the late 1990s, the world's first centrifuge system for extracting extra virgin olive oil was installed, and later they were among the first to use the anti-replication cap on all bottles. Innovation adopted with the unique objective of obtaining an extra virgin olive oil of guaranteed absolute quality.

Caring for the land is another key point that goes hand in hand with tradition and innovation. There are about 48,000 cultivated olive trees, all located between the hills of Siena and Florence, the cultivars are those typical of the area that favour a unique, very sunny climate and well-drained soil. A reality waiting to be discovered, also thanks to the different types of extra virgin olive oil on offer, which can satisfy the tastes and uses of any consumer.
