About 10 years ago Lorenzo Piccione turned the old estate into the Pianogrillo Farm. The Farm is organic. No chemicals, pesticides or fertilizers are used. The agricultural techniques are simple and natural. Olives are picked by hand one by one. Pressing is done on the Farm at the oil mill within 12 hours of harvesting.

The main olive cultivar , Tonda Iblea, produces an intensely fruity gold-green oil that is medium spicy and smells like green tomatoes and just cut grass. Pianogrillo’s complex aroma will enhance soups, legumes, salads, fish and meats.
