From Seed to Dream
An idea is like an olive seedling. With the passing of the seasons, the seed turns into a sprout and the sprout into a tree. It takes passion to care and patience to wait. But, most of all, patience so that the seed survives in the sun-beaten stones.
The same is true for ArteOlio, which, since the year of its birth in 2019, had to overcome several challenges before the idea of the two founders, Augusto Lippi and Riccardo Schiatti, could turn into reality.
The first was to search for a home, for a place in Tuscany to put down roots. We had to find uncultivated fields to reclaim, with a favorable location in terms of climate and geography, and without disrupting the ecosystem.
We found this place at the foot of Montepescali hill, near Grosseto, one of the Italian towns that enjoys the most days of sunshine per year. In this untouched area, embraced by the Tyrrhenian Sea to the west and the Apennines to the east, our farm stands today, and uncultivated fields have given way to an expanse of more than 700 hectares covered with a million olive trees. The treasures that today give us the gift of their prodigious fruit, from which we derive an oil of unique and unfailing qualities.
Liquid Gold
Extra virgin olive oil has always been a symbol of history and tradition, from the Etruscans to us. By creating ArteOlio we wanted to pay tribute to this simple yet priceless product, which alone expresses better than a thousand words everything we believe in.
It is not just a condiment,
but a core element.
The cornerstone
of Mediterranean cuisine.
An elixir of wellbeing
for body and mind.
A versatile ingredient offering almost infinite possibilities.
The Hands in the Soil, the Gaze on the Horizon
There is only one way we conceive of making oil. With love for nature, the soil, the plants, and for all of the steps in a process that requires precision, skill, and expertise in every single detail. This is, for us, "the art of doing it right", and our artists are the staff who work in the fields every day, making sure our olive trees grow lush and undisturbed. They are the eyes and hands of ArteOlio; eyes that watch over our most precious resource and the sustainability of our enterprise, and hands that gratefully collect what the land offers us and turn it into a masterpiece.
