An olive oil is only ever as interesting as its trees. Industrial blends erase the question entirely — when oil is pooled from countless anonymous sources, no one can say what varieties are in the bottle. On a single estate, the trees are known individually, and their names mean something.
Our story is rooted in San Procopio, Calabria, where six generations of Posterinos have tended the family groves and where every harvest is picked by hand and pressed at our own frantoio within hours. These trees, and the knowledge of how to read them, are the family’s oldest inheritance.
A second chapter in Tuscany
The family’s craft also extends north, to the hills near San Gimignano, where we produce ETRURIUM, an IGP Toscano oil from four classic Tuscan cultivars: Frantoio, Leccino, Moraiolo, and Correggiolo. Each contributes its own voice — and because both oils are estate-grown and estate-pressed, those voices arrive undiluted, never averaged into an anonymous blend.
Two regions, one standard, zero brokers. Whatever grows on a Posterino estate is grown by us, for the bottle with our name on it.
