Oil Academy. A family story.

Today the company continues to be managed, with dedication and passion, personally by the Fois family who directly follow all the processing phases, from the cultivation of the olives to their transformation into quality extra virgin olive oil.

It currently boasts an extension of about 250 hectares of olive groves with about 28,000 olive trees, mainly of Bosana cultivars, integrated by the presence of other native and national cultivars, with the aim of improving and enriching the organoleptic and qualitative characteristics of the oils produced. , operates in a modern factory of over 4,000 square meters and uses the most advanced and innovative extraction methods, capable of guaranteeing a high quality product while respecting the raw material.
