Historical context and birth of the company

From the heraldic coat of arms on the label you can guess the nobility of the Pignatelli family, of Lombard origin, protagonist of Italian history from 1100 to 1800.

Established in Monteroduni, since 1669 it has been active in agricultural production with the Tenuta Principe Pignatelli and mainly deals with the production of oil and food preserves.

Strengthened by a wise knowledge of the Molise land and taking advantage of modern and sophisticated technology, the only goal is the quality and authenticity of the product.

… It is not enough to bring the glass to the nose to understand its scents, you have to close your eyes and let yourself be carried away in a pindaric flight between millenary history and biodiversity.

“I am proud to be part of the Oil Revolutionaries”.
