Where family heritage reshapes the culture of taste.

AGRUMATO® is a registered trademark owned by the Ricci family, rooted in Lanciano (Abruzzo, Italy), at the heart of the Mediterranean.
A brand defined by authentic olive oil heritage, refined craftsmanship, and a luxury-driven gastronomic vision.

Founded during the 1980s by Francesco G.M. Ricci, descendant of a family of olive growers and devoted olive oil connoisseurs, the brand was created to revive ancestral traditions and elevate them through innovation, redefining the role of Extra Virgin Olive Oil on a global scale, elevating Extra Virgin Olive Oil beyond its conventional role.

Guided by a pioneering mindset, AGRUMATO® became the first brand worldwide to present premium Extra Virgin Olive Oils with citrus fruits — lemon, citron, orange, blood orange, tangerine, bergamot, lemon with garlic and herbs — contributing to a new way of understanding and experiencing EVOO and its condiments on an international scale.

In the 1980s, EVOO was largely perceived as a basic cooking ingredient.
The turning point came when Francesco G.M. Ricci introduced its citrus EVOO condiments alongside the world’s first single-cultivar olive oils at the International Conference “l’Olio di Oliva e il suo futuro” in Spoleto organised by the “Accademia Nazionale dell’Olivo” , reshaping the global perception of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and highlighting its connection to origin, varietal identity, and gastronomic expression.

From that moment on, Extra Virgin Olive Oil evolved into a signature element of fine gastronomy — a finishing touch, a sensory enhancer, and a conscious expression of origin, varietal identity, quality and taste.
This cultural shift remains the foundation of the brand’s DNA.

In 2009, the same philosophy inspired the creation of Pan’AGRUMATO®, a refined, health-conscious interpretation of Italy’s most iconic holiday dessert, the Panettone.
Seasonal baked goods crafted with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, without butter then lactose-free, highly digestible, with off-season production available through dedicated agreements with selected partners.
