Frantoio Mercurius srl

Frantoio Mercurius S.r.l. was founded in August 2022, growing naturally from the experience of Frantoio Claudio Di Mercurio, active since 2009. What began as a small operation has evolved into a cutting-edge olive oil company, combining deep expertise with the most advanced milling technologies.

Frantoio Mercurius is closely connected to three agricultural estates owned by its shareholders. Together, these farms cover around 50 hectares of olive groves, home to approximately 7,000 olive trees—nearly 2,000 of them centuries old, cultivated today with modern, sustainable agricultural practices.

Our groves stretch across the hills of Abruzzo, between the Apennines and the Adriatic Sea, mainly in the municipality of Penne, as well as in Collecorvino and Moscufo. This unique environment, combined with innovation and precise agronomic control, gives our oils their distinctive identity.

A large part of our production—especially our organic and DOP extra virgin olive oils—comes directly from these estates. We also collaborate with selected neighboring growers, carefully monitoring every stage of cultivation and harvesting with the support of our agronomist to ensure consistently high quality.

The olives are processed within hours of harvesting using state-of-the-art extraction systems, preserving freshness, aromas, and nutritional properties. This focus on technology, timing, and quality has earned our oils widespread recognition. We are consistently featured in the most prestigious industry guides: Gambero Rosso named us Italy’s Best Olive Oil Mill in 2019, awarded us the Red Star, Slow Food honors us every year with the Snail Award, and our oils are regularly listed in Flos Olei.

Our excellence is confirmed by numerous national and international awards, including two Sol d’Oro, two Sirena d’Oro, one Ercole Olivario, two Orciolo d’Oro, four AIPO d’Argento, along with many other accolades.

Today, our oils are appreciated throughout Italy and exported worldwide, particularly to the United States, Germany, Belgium, and Japan. Our DOP oil is a flagship product, alongside our organic, single-varietal, and blended extra virgin olive oils—each expressing innovation, precision, and the highest standards of quality.
