Marina Palusci: four generations of Abruzzese olive oil.

From our lands to your table

Long before Marina Palusci became known for wine, it was already famous for one thing: an extra virgin olive oil good enough for the tables of the world's best restaurants.

Pianella, Abruzzo

Four generations, one family name.

Marina Palusci is a family business that has grown olives and produced extra virgin olive oil in the village of Pianella for four generations, long before it became known for anything else.

Marina Palusci olive groves in Pianella, Abruzzo

Hand-picked, quickly pressed

A tradition of doing it the harder way.

The olives, mostly the native Dritta variety, are still hand-picked and pressed within 12 hours of harvest using cold extraction, a slower, more demanding process that preserves freshness, aroma, and the oil's naturally high polyphenol content.

Today

Still small, still exacting.

Marina Palusci's oils have gone on to earn international recognition for their exceptionally high polyphenol content, standing among the most potent, award-winning extra virgin olive oils to come out of Abruzzo.

The territory

"Pianella sits on clay-rich soil in Italy's eastern Pescara province, ground the Palusci family has known intimately for four generations of olive growing."
Marina Palusci

From grove to bottle

Slow work, on purpose.

Every step is built around freshness, not speed, the opposite of how most olive oil is made.
