About Azienda Olearia del Chianti srl

Azienda Olearia del Chianti was founded in 1985 in Panzano in Chianti on the hills between Florence and Siena, in an area where olive groves and vineyards are an integral part of the landscape and of ancient cultural tradition. Right from its foundation and under the guidance of the Gonnelli family, the Company has made quality its winning card in the interests of consumers who are increasingly aware of and attentive to product origin.

Our oil-press produces top quality extra virgin olive oils, including DOP Chianti Classico oil, IGP Tuscan oil, 100% Italian and biological extra virgin olive oils.

After careful washing, the olives are pressed within 24 hours of their arrival at the oil mill. The extraction process takes place at a temperature under 27 °C.

Before storage, the oil undergoes meticulous chemical tests in our analytical laboratory. Our internal tasting committee then assesses and selects the oil
for bottling.

Quality is therefore guaranteed by strict chemical, physical and organoleptic controls which verify the pureness and genuine- ness of the product, from the beginning of the production pro- cess to bottling and packaging.

Oil is stored in stainless steel silos at a controlled temperature of between 18 °C and 22 °C. In addition, to preserve all the oil’s chemical and organoleptic properties and avoid oxidation, it is preserved under nitrogen.
