A Story of Love, Land and Family.
There are bonds that time cannot break, threads that tie people to the land across generations. Our story is one of these deep bonds. It speaks of roots, promises kept and an unconditional love that the Badolato family has handed down for three generations.
The journey began in 1931 in Presinaci di Rombiolo, in Calabria, in the heart of the Vibo Valentia area. Here our grandfather cultivated the first rows of trees, tending olive trees that would become our life. With tireless dedication and respect for nature, he created a dream. To him, every olive tree was a keeper of stories to be protected under the Calabrian sun.
In 2000 our grandfather's dream knocked on the door of our present. One of us, then a university student, realised that the call of home was too strong to turn his back on. It was a choice made out of love: leaving the lecture halls to return to Presinaci and join his brother, taking the reins of the family business. From that step, in 2001, the Sant'Agostino Olive Mill was born, built in the historic place where it all began. Today that dream is a vast green embrace.
Our passion has spread beyond Presinaci across the whole Vibo Valentia area, where we tend more than 60 hectares and over 5,000 olive trees. Bringing our oil to your table means welcoming you into our home and making you part of a love that has lasted almost a century.
THE BEAUTY OF REALITY:
stories of land, work and absolute transparency.
We show our olive mill exactly as it is. Every image tells the story of our daily work, with no filters and no secrets. For us transparency is an absolute value: every photo is real, without any alteration. We want to open the doors of our world to you and let you witness a short, traceable supply chain, where passion meets the true purity of an outstanding extra virgin olive oil.
