The brainchild of 16 wine growers, the Brisighella farmer’s co-operative was formed in 1962, and added an oil mill and performed its first pressing in 1971.
Currently, 90% of the local olive growers are members, jointly producing 60 thousand litres of oil.
The co-operative’s goal is to improve the olive production of the Lamone Valley, an area on the Adriatic slope of the Tuscany-Romagna Apennines, where a single variety of local origin is grown: Nostrana di Brisighella.
The olives pressed come exclusively from members and the oil extracted is bottled and sold by the co-operative on behalf of all the members.
In 1975, with a view to traceability of its oils, the co-operative started giving a specific identification to its products, numbering its bottles.
