In the 1900’s,  the Belcapo family was mostly known for their olive oil making, but over time the family concentrated its attention on winemaking.

Our attention to quality and the technical evolution of our production made our family known on the international market, having been awarded two gold medals in 1938; one in London and one in Paris for our olive oil quality.

Our company was one of the first of the time to have electricity on its premises by harvesting hydrolectric power from a natural spring to power not just our own facilities, but also the local farmers in the area.

Our olive mill uses traditional stone to cold-press the olives in order to obtain an excellent extra virgin olive oil. Our olives are hand picked from mature trees of different varieties, such as Frantoio, Canino, Leccino and Moraiolo. We periodically prune the trees and we only use organic fertilizer.

The olives are cold pressed within 24 hours from harvesting in order to insure not just high quality, but nutrional value that is characteristic of the mediterranean diet.
