This is our oil story, always searching for a timeless perfection...
Andria. Puglia. Post-World War II. It’s time to roll up the sleeves. To be spiritually reborn through hard work. Willpower is not lacking. In those year, Saverio, the forefather, was the one who placed the first brick of the olive mill, of what has become today the activity of Olio Guglielmi, a continuously evolving company.
Thanks to Grandfather Saverio, the “Extra virgin olive oil family “ was born. Today sons and nephews are dedicated to the
cultivation of 200 hectares (more than 80.000 olive trees) of
olive groves, from the harvest to the milling, for the creation of a “genuinely” a superb extra virgin olive oil.
This is a story about passion.
We take care of our olive trees
since 1954.
My family has been producing extra virgin olive oil from our own olives for over 60 years.
Today we continue innovating this story through technological changes, but keeping firm the roots of Apulia’s olive oil
culture.
Olio Guglielmi has an ever changing story.
The olive tree is a symbol. Leaves are an icon. Olives are an emblem.
Olive groves are for Olio Guglielmi the engine of everything.
The meticulous, careful and loving care arises from an extreme respect for nature and from the awareness that an outstanding extra virgin oil is born first on the branch, from the well preserved fruit.
Coratina, Peranzana and Ogliarola are three distinctive Apulian olive varieties, protected by the accurate work on the fields, like a real asset to be safeguarded. That’s why we take care of the olive groves every single day.
We never produce our extra virgin olive oil “by chance”. It is the result of hard work, ideas, actions and objectives. It comes
from the olives, but not from any olives. They are carefully selected, taking cared of and well preserved.
It is the result of a winning combination of our fathers ‘knowledge and the most revolutionary innovation. It is given
by our family recipe, because olive oil is not only born from a mechanical process. It comes first from our heart.
Company’s philosophy is to combine old traditions passed down from generation with real customers’ needs by offering an absolutely excellent product, characterized by many shades of taste and exciting fragrances and also for its innovative and new packaging.
