Oleificio Capogreco
Oleificio Capogreco is located in the hills of Locri, in the province of Reggio Calabria.
The history of the company has ancient origins: in 1888 the Capogreco family opened the first animal-drawn oil mill. In 2006, the company decided to transform and become an actual business reality, building a new structure equipped with cutting-edge technology and adding organic farming to its classic production.
To date, the farm covers more than 100 hectares of land where there are about 6,000 olive trees of the Grossa Geracese and Nocellara Messinese cultivars. The olives are harvested by hand or by mechanical means, and the oil is extracted with a continuous cycle plant.
The oil produced is named "Il Tradizionale" (the Traditional) Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Oleificio Capogreco's product range consists of organic oils, flavored oils, preserves, patès, jams, honey and more.
