Olea Prilis
Olea Prilis is more than an olive estate – it’s the heart and soul of a family, deeply rooted in the creative and nurturing energy of women. Inspired by a passion for sustainable living and well-being, Candice and Fabrizio’s family brought their dream to life.
At the core of this story is Candice, a violinist, a patron of the arts, and the creative force behind the estate. With her artistic vision, she brings harmony and integrity to the land, blending tradition with innovation. Together with their daughters, Livia and Tullia, Candice ensures that each bottle of oil reflects care, authenticity, and a deep connection to their family’s ethos.
Fabrizio, once a financial executive, shares this vision wholeheartedly. He has dedicated himself to the art of olive cultivation and milling, combining precision with passion. Yet, it is the feminine touch—thoughtful, nurturing, and endlessly creative—that defines Olea Prilis and makes its oils truly exceptional.
Lovingly restored, the estate spans 22 hectares of olive groves with a diverse range of cultivars, all nurtured through sustainable and organic farming. At its heart is an advanced on-site mill, where dedication and craftsmanship transform every olive into liquid gold. Each oil is a testament to the family’s commitment to excellence, tradition, and sustainability.
Our guiding philosophy: “Live as if you died tomorrow and farm as if you lived forever”.
As a family-run olive farm, we celebrate the rich diversity of both our people and our trees. Every cultivar, with its own unique characteristics, contributes to the exceptional flavor and nutritional profile of our oils.
A Commitment to Sustainability
We are more than farmers—we are stewards of the land, committed to protecting and enhancing biodiversity. Sustainability is not just a practice; it is our way of life. Every decision we make, from cultivation to production, reflects our deep respect for the environment, ensuring that our oils align with our customers’ ecological values.
Ethical farming is at the heart of what we do. By sharing our journey with honesty and passion, we offer our clients more than just a product—we offer an experience, an emotional connection, and the assurance of quality they can trust.
The Story Behind Our Name: Olea Prilis
Our farm stands on land where a great saltwater lake once existed, known to the ancient Romans as “Lacus Prilis.” The process of draining the lake began in 1592 and was only completed in the 1960s, a transformation requiring generations of dedication and effort. What was once a lakebed is now home to our thriving olive trees.
The name Olea Prilis is a tribute to this fascinating history. Olea represents the botanical genus of the olive tree, while Prilis honors the land’s remarkable journey from water to orchard.
Our farm
Nestled in one of Tuscany’s most unspoiled and captivating landscapes, our 20 hectares of olive groves overlook the Mediterranean Sea. The region’s strong temperature variations, salty coastal winds, and nutrient-rich clay soil create the perfect conditions for growing olives of exceptional character.
Here, our trees work hard for every fruit they produce, and in return, they give us olives with unparalleled complexity. This results in oils with extraordinary depth of flavor and an exceptionally high phenolic content, known for its powerful health benefits.
At Olea Prilis, we believe in quality over quantity. Our farming methods prioritize balance, biodiversity, and respect for nature, ensuring that every drop of oil reflects the purity and integrity of the land.
Our Mill: Precision & Innovation
Our state-of-the-art mill, built in 2023, is the realization of a dream—a blend of tradition and cutting-edge technology. Equipped with the latest MORI-TEM machinery, it allows us to fine-tune every step of the milling process to bring out the very best in each variety.
We can precisely control temperature, crushing speed, malaxation times, oxygen exposure, vacuum processing, and separation speeds, among other variables. This level of precision enables us to craft oils with distinct profiles, preserving their flavor, nutritional richness, and aromatic complexity.
Our commitment to excellence means that every olive is treated with care, ensuring that the final product is nothing short of extraordinary.
