Company History

C.U.FR.OL. Frantoi Oleari Umbri & Co. (Umbrian Olive Mills & Co.) based in Spoleto, in the central Italian region of Umbria, was born out of the collective spirit of some of the oldest olive mills in Umbria such as Frantoio Gradassi which follows a centuries old family tradition and that of Tiziano Scacaroni who, thanks to his extraordinary experience and palate, follows the technical aspects of the Company.

It was the passion of these entrepreneurs for extra virgin olive oil that pushed them to combine their energies to create a central bottling and storage centre into which all of their best production flows. C.U.FR.OL. also directly controls the marketing of these products, privileging quality above all, but without neglecting its image, thus obtaining in this way the perfect combination that has enabled it to gain market share in ever increasingly selective trade channels: restaurant (our client portfolio includes several two and three star Michelin restaurants), qualified supermarket chains, catering of prestigious international airline companies, just to mention a few channels where C.U.FR.OL. operates.

Thanks to its fundamental link with olive growing traditions, C.U.FR.OL. has proven to be one of the best qualified companies to represent D.O.P.

Umbria sub regions: Assisi-Spoleto Hills, Martani Hills (area surrounding the towns of Todi and Montefalco) and Orvieto Hills.
