The olives are collected and placed in baskets which are taken to the olive mill. To ensure a high-quality olive oil, the olives must be milled within a few hours of being collected. Once the olives are at the mill, they are separated from the leaves and cleaned.
The olives are then placed in a tank, where they are pressed. The result is a homogenous paste which is further pressed. The solid part is divided from the liquid part which is then sent into a vertical centrifuge that separates the olive oil from the water. So, Fondo Gionino Olive Oil is ready!

But what exactly does this label mean for our customers?
First and foremost, it represents our unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship. Each product carrying the Bio European Green Label meets rigorous organic and ecological standards, ensuring that it's not only good for you but also for the planet.
Our Extra Virgin Olive Oil is extracted from the finest Geracese olives, or “Grossa di Gerace” which are a native variety from Calabria. The drupes (or individual olives) are elliptical and, when they begin to form, are light green in color. As ripening progresses, they begin to turn violet and finally black.
Each individual olive weighs, on average, just under one ounce, of which approximately 20% is extracted as oil. The remaining by product, olive pulp or olive cake, can be used as a heat source in furnaces or can be pressed into briquettes for fireplaces.
Fondo Gionino is our home. Nestled in the heart of Calabria, our villa overlooks olive groves that have been in our family for generations. We honor our family’s traditions by cultivating olive trees that are both decades and hundreds of years old.
In fact, the Calabrian method of preserving olives has its roots in Ancient Greece. Perhaps that’s why we’re so passionate about our olive oil!
Not all pasta — or sauces — are created equal! In this guide, we break down how different pasta shapes perfectly complement specific sauces — from light, oil-based blends for spaghetti to rich, hearty ragù for wide pappardelle. Discover the best pairings for pesto, seafood, and stuffed pasta, along with travel-inspired tips from Italy’s most iconic regions.
YES, it is!! Extra virgin olive oil is plant based and does not contain animal products, so it fits perfectly into the vegan lifestyle. If you are new to the vegan lifestyle or a seasoned vegan, you will be happy to know that EVOO adds so much to your recipes! It is a wonderful substitution for butter in your favorite cakes, cookies, and other desserts. EVOO is the perfect ingredient for your salad dressings and sautéing your favorite vegetables.
