THE STORY OF PRUNETI FAMILY: 4 Generations and over 160 years in Chianti Classico
The Pruneti family has a rich history in the Chianti Classico dating back to 1841 when the first Pruneti established the family in San Polo. In the 1980s, Paolo and Gionni began working in the family's fields and learned the artisanal techniques of olive oil production after school. Their passion for extra virgin olive oil grew over the years, and they became the guardians of a family tradition passed down through generations in the heart of Tuscany. They oversee all aspects of production to ensure the highest quality olive oils.
Over the years, Frantoio Pruneti has achieved several milestones, including leading the company in 1998, launching the Pruneti Monocultivar Collection in 2002, and opening their own olive mill in 2009. This dedication to excellence has resulted in their olive oils being ranked among the top 20 best EVOOs in the world in 2013.
The family-owned business now boasts over 30,000 olive trees, and their commitment to quality has earned them numerous awards from prestigious competitions such as the NYIOOC and Flos Olei. They strive to cater to all tastes and cuisines, while also adopting sustainable agricultural practices for healthy olive oil production.
The Pruneti Frantoio Monocultivar Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a result of the family's dedication to perfection. It is made from carefully selected varieties of olives, cold-extracted in their mill in the heart of Tuscany, and bottled without oxygen to minimize oxidation. The result is a high-quality product rich in beneficial properties with a unique flavor profile.
The Monocultivar Collection features two varieties: Frantoio Monocultivar and Leccino Monocultivar. Both are cold-pressed from handpicked olives to preserve their distinct flavor profiles. The oils are rich in polyphenols, USDA organic certified, and free of pesticides and chemicals. The Frantoio variety offers a robust, peppery flavor with notes of artichoke and arugula, while the Leccino variety boasts intense, bitter notes with hints of green artichoke and arugula.
In addition to their exceptional taste, the Pruneti olive oils are versatile and can be used in various dishes, making them the perfect gift for any occasion. The company stands by its products and offers a satisfaction guarantee to ensure customer happiness.
In conclusion, the Pruneti family's commitment to tradition, passion, and knowledge has resulted in award-winning olive oils that capture the essence of the Chianti Classico region and Tuscany as a whole.
