Fondo Gionino – Helping the Environment with Organic Olive Oil
Certified Organic Olive Oil
Our olive oil is Certified Organic (“BIO”), which means we rely on sustainable cultivation methods without the use of harmful pesticides, chemicals, or growth hormones. Instead, we use regenerative farming practices that not only produce healthier olives but also help restore the environment.
Carbon Sink
One of the most powerful results of these practices is the creation of a “carbon sink.” This is a natural system that absorbs more carbon dioxide (CO₂) than it emits. While forests and oceans are classic examples, olive trees are uniquely suited to this role thanks to their deep roots and long lifespans, which capture and store carbon in both biomass and soil.
Olive Trees as Climate Allies
According to the International Olive Council, one hectare (approximately 2.5 acres) of olive grove can absorb up to 4.5 tons of CO₂ per year. That means every bottle of Fondo Gionino Extra Virgin Olive Oil isn’t just delicious—it’s also part of the fight against climate change. By choosing our olive oil, you’re helping offset your carbon footprint.
Why This Matters
When you choose Fondo Gionino Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, you’re investing in more than just a premium product. You’re supporting:
- Climate resilience – olive groves that actively reduce CO₂ emissions.
- Biodiversity preservation – healthy ecosystems that protect pollinators and wildlife.
- Ethical, transparent sourcing – olive oil you can feel good about serving to your family.
Tradition Meets Innovation
At Fondo Gionino, we honor centuries-old traditions while embracing innovation. From our ancient groves come not only healthy, flavorful olive oils but also a lasting contribution to a more sustainable future. Every bottle carries the story of Calabria’s heritage and the promise of a greener tomorrow.
