Six generations.
One estate. Now in America.
Posterino is extra virgin olive oil the way it existed before supermarkets: grown, hand-harvested, and cold-pressed by one family, on one estate in Calabria, since the 1950s.
Discover the oil Our storyBorn in San Procopio, raised by six generations.
In the 1950s, three brothers — Rocco, Rolando, and Michele Posterino — built a frantoio among the family groves of San Procopio, in the province of Reggio Calabria. In the 1980s the family began bottling under its own name. Since 1996, the next generation has modernized everything but the standard.
Every olive is picked by hand and milled within six to twelve hours at the family press — never bought, never blended, never anonymous.
An oil that still tastes like the tree.
Cold-extracted and stored in stainless steel under nitrogen, Posterino keeps the green aromatics and peppery finish that industrial blends average away. From the Calabrian estate oils to ETRURIUM — our IGP Toscano pressed from Frantoio, Leccino, Moraiolo, and Correggiolo near San Gimignano — every bottle traces to land the family farms itself.
“Extra virgin” is a floor.
This is our standard.
Single source
One named estate in San Procopio. Never an anonymous blend, never broker oil — in any season.
Cold & swift
Hand-picked fruit is milled within 6–12 hours and extracted cold, so nothing of the olive is lost.
Sealed in nitrogen
Stainless steel tanks flushed with nitrogen keep oxygen — the quiet thief of freshness — away until bottling.
Traceable
A farm you can name, a family that signs for it, and a lot that leads back to one press.
Judged among the world’s great olive oils.
Six generations of medals, seals, and certificates hang in the frantoio in San Procopio. We are bringing the full collection to this page — one verified honor at a time.
Learn what the supermarket never told you.
Grocery store olive oil doesn’t come from a farm. Ours does.
Most brands on the shelf own no trees and no press. Here is what that means for your bottle.
The truth about “Packed in Italy” labels
Where a bottle was filled and where its olives grew are two very different claims.
