n Umbria, olive cultivation has ancient roots dating back to the Etruscan age, with a history deeply intertwined with a simple and harmonious lifestyle, following the rhythms of nature. And it was precisely on the picturesque Umbrian hills, back in 1850, that the extraordinary story of the Bartolini oil mill began. An enterprise that for six generations has been guarded with passion and dedication by the same family.
Founded as a small oil mill with an animal-drawn millstone, our company has gone through years of growth and expansion, firmly maintaining direct control over every stage of production. It is thanks to this close traceability in the production chain that many of Bartolini's products can boast the much-appreciated 'Umbrian' designation.
Our company is immersed in the picturesque scenery of the River Nera Natural Park, amidst sparkling waters, majestic mountains and centuries-old forests. Here, we carefully cultivate olive trees, pulses and cereals, while in the more remote areas, in the woods, we let cattle graze freely and seasonally collect delicious truffles.We have always been deeply committed to environmental protection, and our cattle contribute to this goal by providing us with natural fertiliser that enriches our crops, allowing us to complete the cultivation cycle in a sustainable manner.
