Our EVOO is rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, and anti-inflammatory properties, it is a valuable addition to any diet, especially for promoting heart health.
What Truly Distinguishes Fondo Gionino?
We exclusively use olives cultivated on our own land, overseeing every step from harvest to bottling. Our Extra Virgin Olive Oil is extracted from the exceptional Geracese olives, or “Grossa di Gerace,” a native variety from Calabria. This varietal is found only in an area of about 100 square kilometers (45 square miles) on the southern Ionian coast of Calabria, giving it a unique flavor profile.
Unlike many competitors, we never source olives from external producers, ensuring full traceability and the highest quality in every bottle. Each bottle proudly displays the harvest year, guaranteeing 100% pure, organic, extra virgin Italian olive oil with a unique flavor profile.
Our unwavering commitment to transparency and authenticity sets us apart. By embracing sustainable practices and traditional farming methods, we not only promote biodiversity and environmental health but also preserve the legacy of Italian craftsmanship. Every bottle of our Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a true reflection of the land, climate, and expertise that define its production, offering an authentic taste of Italy with every drop. This dedication to integrity ensures that our customers can trust the purity and quality of our products.
Each bottle is marked with the harvest year, so you know exactly when your olive oil was made. The harvest of each year is unique, which is why we change our labels every year. So, each year, you not only receive the freshest olive oil but also a bottle that reflects the distinct qualities of that specific harvest. This ensures that every time you choose Fondo Gionino, you're enjoying a product that captures the essence of the land, the climate, and the dedication we put into every step of the process.
