Oil mill Frantoio Antiche Macine - Extra virgin olive oil

OUR OIL MILL

“A story handed down through three generations”

The Antiche Macine Oil Mill was founded in 1965 on the slopes of Mount Taburno, in the heart of Sannio. Our history as olive millers traces back to Grandfather Carmine. Over the years, he passed down his great love for olive trees to his children and grandchildren, who made it a real mission.

For over 50 years, we have been passionately dedicated to producing high-quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil, achieving not only an exceptional gastronomic product but a true “ambassador of taste” that, with its unmistakable flavor, tells a story of experience, tradition, and love.
