Currently consulting FRANTOIO Fratelli PAOLOCCI, Italian olive oil milling company and quality Extra Virgin OLIVE OIL producer based near Viterbo in VETRALLA, a medieval town located in the heart of the Tuscia Viterbese: a beautiful land with a centuries-old olive-growing tradition, just a few kms north of Rome and nestled between the Lazio Maremma, western Umbria, and southern Tuscany.

Today, with the same enthusiasm as their predecessors at the beginning of the 20th century, FAUSTO and STEFANO PAOLOCCI personally run their state-of-the-art renovated mill, using the most advanced techniques to produce cold-pressed extra virgin olive oils from carefully selected olives, sourced both locally and from other Italian regions with a strong olive-growing tradition.

Such a local and multi-regional Italian olives' rigorous selection allows Frantoio Fratelli PAOLOCCI to produce monocultivar extra virgin olive oils with distinct sensory and organoleptic profiles, as well as blended extra virgin olive oils of exceptional quality and character.

Upon request, the professional Master Blenders of Frantoio Fratelli PAOLOCCI are available to work closely with clients to create sensory profiles tailored to their preferences and market needs.

After chemical tests and sensory profile assessments, every extra virgin olive oil is stocked with the safest methods: stainless steel silos in a climate-controlled environment and a nitrogen-blanket system that protects it from oxidation, preserving its freshness and unique characteristics over time.

At Frantoio Fratelli PAOLOCCI all extra virgin olive oils are bottled directly at the mill in a variety of packaging formats to best meet specific clients’ needs, and shipped throughout Italy and abroad to individual consumers, small and large retailers, distributors and private-label companies.
