About Frantoio Presciuttini Olio di Notte

My name is Pierluigi Presciuttini and I grew up among olive trees and in the family mill. I currently manage about 3000 plants and almost all of them have been recovered from abandonment in the last 4 years. Many cultivars are canine, many others frantoio and others are Leccino and Moraiolo. The passion for these wonderful plants has prompted me to undertake with dedication and stubbornness the search for continuous agronomic improvements in the management of olive groves, starting from polyconic pot cultivation to tools for indicating the correct harvest period, always favoring sustainable and natural cultivation and excluding the use of harmful chemicals, in the belief that the natural quality of the product must always come first place. With the aim of producing an absolutely extraordinary oil, they are always looking for abandoned olive groves to recover. I am especially attracted to plants that have been away from humans for a long time because they are the best in terms of production quality and rusticity of their bearing. A conservative estimate identifies about 100,000 abandoned plants in my territory that no one has cared for and managed for years. Well, one of my goals is to recover as many of these plants as possible, bringing them back into production and taking care of all aspects of the supply chain, from pruning, to fertilization and harvesting and processing of fruits.Read their story
