About Us

About our brand name “Olea Prilis”

In the area where a salty lake, known to the ancient Romans as “Lacus Prilis,” once existed, our farm now thrives. The process of draining the lake commenced in 1592 and was only completed in the 1960s, necessitating painstaking human efforts. Ultimately, the emerged plains became a haven for new farms and the bedrock for our trees, which we christened “OLEA PRILIS.” In this nomenclature, “Olea” denotes the botanical classification of the olive tree within the genus “Olea,” while “Prilis” is our testimony to the region’s fascinating origin.

About our farm

20 hectares of olive groves facing the mediterranean sea, in one of the most unspoiled and fascinating areas of Tuscany, are the kingdom of Olea Prilis. Here, strong temperature variations between day and night, salty winds, and the challenges of growing in clay soil, force our trees to earn every olive they yield, giving us amazing fruit to produce oils of great structure and with an exceptionally out of the norm phenolic charge.

Ours is a purely family-run olive growing reality, in which a wonderful variety of people and cultivars, each with its own peculiarities, contribute to the exceptional culinary and nutrient profile of our oils.

Our Motto is: “Live as if you die tomorrow and farm as if you live forever”.

We are an organic farm, focused on enhancing biodiversity and ensuring the lowest possible impact. Our lifelong commitment to sustainability is present in every decision, action, and detail of our work, and it delivers to our customers a product that fulfils their environmental ambitions. We use precision farming methods and state-of-the-art extraction technology to bring you something unique; high phenolic olive oil, a gift for your palate and a longevity resource for your body.
