Olio della Cilestra 

The hills of Civitanova Marche look out onto the sea and have a wonderful mild climate that is sunny almost year round.
The old Cilestra road runs through what seems an endless series of olive groves. More than 70 years ago, a group of local farmers united around a single oil mill; the oil produced today still comes exclusively from the farm’s own olive trees and those of nearby farms: an area where old and modern intertwine. Here, olives are carefully monitored for parasites, which helps avoid using chemical products as much as possible. Olives are crushed with a stone mill and then centrifugal extracted without any subsequent filtering. The oil mill welcomes visitors year round.
