At Frantoio D'Orazio, however, tradition has met modernity. Thanks to the intuition and determination of Francesco D'Orazio, the last of three generations of olive growers, he has combined expert cultivation of the land and traditional olive processing techniques with cutting-edge technology to extract, preserve, and preserve Apulian extra virgin olive oil . This is a safe oil, rich in nutrients, and possessing sublime quality characteristics: a lightly fruity flavor, enhanced by notes of leaves and grass. We've discussed it in depth in this article , which we recommend.
We'd like to tell you about the tradition that has merged with modernity in our mill, turning it into an art. Follow us.
Once upon a time in Puglia there was authentic oil, and there still is
Puglia is recognized throughout the world as a land of food and wine and among its identifying products there is him: his majesty , Apulian extra virgin olive oil .
To achieve this, at Frantoio D'Orazio we rely on eco-sustainable olive cultivation techniques, traditional methods that preserve the olives while respecting nature, without intrusion or contamination. We care about goodness that is also healthy, nothing more and nothing less. That's why we select our suppliers based on their cultivation techniques, and in the olive groves we manage directly, we rely on the same principles. At the same time, we believe that embracing modernity is important to streamline production processes, improve quality in terms of food safety, and speed up processing times. Finding the right balance between tradition and innovation is our challenge.
A challenge that we proudly believe we have won thanks to our production which takes place like this:
- We grow olives respecting nature
- We harvest the olives with mechanical shakers which allow us to do it faster and better
- We process the olives and extract a superior quality oil with latest generation machinery such as our protoreactor machine ( learn more about our production techniques here )
- We reduce waste and limit environmental impact by relying on cutting-edge technologies such as the production of thermal energy through the combustion of the olive stone that we extract from the virgin pomace (we talked about it in this article )
When oil becomes the art of doing well
Puglia and olive oil . Together forever, for centuries. A love story whose privileged witnesses are the monumental olive trees that dot our land. It is our duty to protect this history and bring it into the future, into modernity. At Frantoio D'Orazio, we have taken tradition, exalted it, and combined it with production techniques that protect and enhance the most authentic goodness of Puglia, our beloved olive oil. A love story that has never ended.
