The history of Frantoio Agostini is a story of passion, tradition and excellence. A journey that began 70 years ago: an activity handed down from father to son, today at third generation. Frantoio Agostini is located in the heart of the Aso valley, between the Sibillini mountains and the Adriatic sea, where the air is fresh and clean, and the climate is ideal for the cultivation of olive trees - the Aso valley is known for growing olive trees since the Romans.

And between the green of the hills and the blue of the sea, Frantoio Agostini started in 1945, soon after the war, with Alfredo. Nowadays, they have become one of the most awarded Italian oil producer.
