Historical context and birth of the company<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Cassini family has been cultivating Taggiasca olive trees for generations. In our valleys all the families in the past had an olive grove for supply and trade: it was completely normal.
\n\u201cMy grandfather Jean and my father Giannino installed the first oil mill in 1962, a traditional plant with mullers and press. In 1993 we adapted to the times by installing a modern continuous cycle extraction system. Recently our passion for oil and love for our land has led us to further refine the plant, to obtain more fruity and superior quality oils.
\nCurrently we continue our journey, in small steps, trying to intentionally remain a small company that produces quality and not numbers, numbers do not produce quality. ”
\nThat of Paolo Cassini is a small family-run business: ten hectares of olive groves and 2000 olive trees of the Taggiasca variety, mainly secular trees. The altitude of the plots varies from 150 to 550 meters above sea level.
\nThe oldest plants were planted by Benedictine monks around the thirteenth century, to “probe” the quality of the soil.
\nThe most developed in height have been lowered with a reform pruning, adapting them as much as possible to modern cultivation standards.
\nThe production in oil is limited but of the highest quality. The latter is the main objective of each vintage, to improve the details to always obtain a product that stands out and has unique characteristics.<\/p>\n

“We True producers, we must protect our work and our good name: years of sacrifice, passion and tradition must not be lost in thin air.”<\/em><\/strong>
