At Fontanaro, excellence isn’t just a goal—it’s our way of life. We are proud to announce that our Fontanaro Extra Virgin Olive Oil has received the Bibenda 5 Drops Award, one of the highest recognitions in the Italian olive oil sector. This award was presented during the 44th Forum of Olive and Wine Culture, organized by the Fondazione Italiana Sommelier, in the presence of President of the Italian Republic Sergio Mattarella and the Minister of Agriculture Francesco Lollobrigida.

This moment is not only a celebration of our olive oil, but also of our team’s dedication to quality, sustainability, and tradition. From hand-harvesting our olives to cold pressing them within hours of picking, every step we take is guided by passion and care for the land.

The Bibenda 5 Drops (Cinque Gocce) are a symbol of exceptional quality, reserved for oils that express outstanding sensory balance, character, and consistency. Being recognized in this way puts Fontanaro among the best producers of Italian organic extra virgin olive oil.

As a family-run farm rooted in the hills of Umbria, this achievement reaffirms our belief that hard work, commitment, and respect for nature always pay off.

We invite you to discover the taste of our award-winning olive oil and experience the soul of Italian countryside living.

From our groves to your table, thank you for being part of our journey.

What a surprise!

We participated at the olive harvest with the Pinelli family. I must say that the atmosphere that was breathed was magical. Then we attended their oil festival, along with a hundred other people. Fantastic experience that we will take with us. Grazie mille!

Every time we come to Paciano meeting Lucia, we are amazed at how the simplest things can be the most wonderful.
