Quality
The quality of extra virgin olive oil is not just a matter of taste, it’s the result of a careful process of selection, cultivation, and production.
Since 1909, Gabro olive oil has followed a philosophy rooted in tradition and innovation, ensuring a genuine product rich in beneficial properties and a flavor like no other.
The Oldest Organic Olive Mill in Italy
Our unwavering commitment to the highest production standards made us one of the pioneers of organic olive oil in Italy and advocates of long-term sustainability practices. In fact, Gabro Olive Mill was recognized as an organic farming operation (“terreni ad agricoltura biologica”) as early as 1986, making it the first certified organic company in Calabria.
In 1988, Gabro olive oil was awarded the title of Best Organic Olive Oil in Italy by the University of Milan and the Experimental Station for Oils and Fats for organic farming.
Organic farming is sustainable and free from harmful pesticides or chemicals.
From Cultivation to the Table: A Unique Supply Chain
Gabro olive oil is 100% Made in Italy, produced exclusively from Calabrian olives grown on our own lands—resulting in a fully controlled and certified internal supply chain, where every stage of production is carefully monitored to guarantee the highest quality.
On our 220 hectares of land, we cultivate some of the most traditional olive varieties of the region: Large Olive of Cassano (Grossa di Cassano), Carolea, Little Round Olive (Tondina), Coratina Olive, Nocellara Etnea Olive, and Messina Olive (Nocellara Messinese).
These are expertly blended to create a premium extra virgin olive oil—high in polyphenols, fatty acids, and antioxidants—with a distinctive aroma and flavor.
Harvesting is carried out with attention and promptness to ensure the olives reach our facility as quickly as possible.
Pressing takes place at our 20,000 m² production facility, where the raw olives are de-leafed, washed, and routed through the production line using state-of-the-art machinery.
The olives are pressed within 24 hours of harvesting to: preserve the fresh, fruity flavor and perfect balance of bitter and spicy notes, prevent the degradation of fatty acids, maintain high levels of polyphenols for a healthier oil.
Thanks to our unique supply chain, Gagi Olearia ensures fast, meticulous processing that delivers a product of high nutritional value, authentic origin, and truly unique taste.
