Our story
The origins
1926
Vito Galantino, an extra virgin olive oil taster, decides to start a new business. Thanks to his great determination and far-sightedness, he acquires a majestic Nineteenth Century mill-house and turns it into on olive oil mill.
The Olive Groves
1960
The Galantino family acquires “La Fenice” estate, a 47 hectares olive grove. Taking care of the olive trees, planting new varieties, picking the olives at the best stage of ripeness, Galantino can obtain the best input for his olive oil mill and reach excellent quality levels.
The first bottles
1985
Dr. Michele Galantino, Vito Galantino’s son, starts bottling his extra virgin olive oil in elegant and prestigious bottles with the Galantino brand and selling it all over the world. Now Galantino owns the whole processing chain: olive trees, olive oil mill, bottling, sales.
The Flavoured Oils
1990
Rediscovering an ancient technique, Michele Galantino produces the first flavoured oil: the Lemon Olive Oil. It is produced by crushing olives and fresh lemons together, without the use of any added essences. It is only the first oil in a new line that now includes thirteen olive oils flavoured with citrus fruits or fresh herbs.
