THE HISTORYUrsini is a family before being a company, a group of olive growers and its fruitswhose destiny is already written in its nickname Puti which means olive pruner in dialect. As early as the nineteenth century the members of this family were consider as master experts and were among the most requested by landholders for advice on caring for olive groves. Today such knowledge is enriched and expanded into various forms of producing oil, benefitting from the creativity and innovation innate in Ursini's Family DNA: the incomparable extra virgin in all its expressions, but also many specialities with new and surprising flavours, albeit linked to tradition and with the common denominator of extra virgin olive oil. An offer of absolute quality which does not permit compromises and allows the freshness of the best raw materials to be enjoyed all year long.THE OLIVEUrsini is in Fossacesia in the heart of Abruzzo, the green region of Europe in which there are three national parks and the enchanting Costa dei Trabocchi. A wonderful land in which the calling has always been olive growing, where the quality of life and ancient values allow for no compromises, exactly like Ursini production. For us, authentic excellence only goes through direct and personnel commitment, not delegated to third parties. Our olive groves, family olive-presses, in house-laboratories and directly controlled distribution are components of the chain. Offering the best product is a commitment we undertake in respect of our roots and the great patriarch, that centuries-old olive tree from the eighteenth century which observes us proudly from the garden of San Giovanni in Venere Abbey.THE KITCHENUrsini stands out from other companies starting from its home: no old-school factory and no industrial area, but an ancient site dedicated to the activity of the olive-press and a new and welcoming small-brick structure measuring over 1,400 square metres surrounded by olive groves. Here there is room for the warehouses, offices and above all the kitchen where all our specialities are prepared: situated in the centre of the surface area. The machinery is special too, tailor made for our unique culinary techniques and for soft pasteurisationWE CONFIDE only in our olive mill.A key overriding belief at Ursini is that authentic quality can only be obtained in a direct way.
