Who Grew Your Olive Oil? With Posterino, We Can Tell You.

Ask a supermarket olive oil brand a simple question — who grew these olives? — and you will not get an answer. Not because they are hiding something dramatic, but because they genuinely do not know. Their oil arrives in bulk, purchased through brokers, drawn from harvests they never saw, on farms they could not point to on a map.

Ask us the same question and the answer comes easily. The olives in every bottle of Posterino were grown in San Procopio, Calabria, on groves our family has tended for six generations. The mill was founded in the 1950s by three brothers — Rocco, Rolando, and Michele Posterino. Since 1996, the next generation — Rocco, Francesco, and Francesca — has carried the work forward, modernizing the press while keeping the land and the standard the same.

Provenance is not a marketing flourish. It is the difference between a product and a place. With Posterino, you know exactly whose hands harvested your oil — because they are the same hands that sign for it.
