Azienda Agricola Pruneti is one of the most decorated olive farms in Italy. They have won numerous prestigious awards and are consistently among the best 20 farms listed by Flos Olei.

Olive Farm

The Pruneti family business has been in existence for over 160 years. It is located in the heart of Tuscany, in the Chianti region, which is famed for its wines. At Pruneti, the invaluable knowledge gained from the family tradition is combined with state-of-the-art technology and cutting-edge research in order to extract the full flavour of the olives. Earth, air, water and fire: the four elements are at the core of the Pruneti spirit.

Cultivation & Processing

The family-operated Pruneti olive farm is located in the heart of Tuscany, in the region of Chianti, also famous for its wines. The advantageous microclimate and the richness of the soil ensure that the olive trees in Chianti produce exceptional oil.

For over 160 years, the olive farm Pruneti has been a family affair. Invaluable knowledge and tradition have been passed down from generation to generation, and are combined with the most up-to-date technologies and research. The oil is made from the over 28,000 olive trees growing on the 80ha farm. The cultivated varieties include only the local cultivars Leccino, Moraiolo, and Frantoio.

Cultivation and processing take place according to the highest technical and quality standards. All olives are harvested by hand. The olives are then ground within 4 hours of harvest on-site at the farm's mill, which uses individualised settings for each variety of oil. As a result, Pruneti produces a great variety of premium oils that differ by flavour, aroma, and character.
