Since then, the same family has handed down a true art in the craft oil, applying innovative techniques to tradition.
 
After over 400 years of extra virgin olive oil production, Serena Gonnelli, with the mill family, has designed the first store format with fast food. 
 
Olivia is a store where you can learn about the world oil e.v.o in the round: is selected as an olive, as is franta and what are its main features. At the same time Olivia you can buy oil but also learn about the many recipes with which he married.

A modern and fresh environment with references to the Tuscan agricultural world.
