The Frantoio

Our mill has organic certification where each step of the production chain (presented below) is valued, with the aim of providing a product of incomparable quality... When the olives arrive at Frantoio, a real check is made on each olive. They are sorted one by one in order to retain the healthiest ones.

NEW CROP 2022

Eccoci qui! It’s early November and it’s the most anticipated time of year for the LUCANGELI family. Head to Calabria to help our family and our neighbouring producers harvest olives!

After a few hours of travel, the return of the good meals of our Nonna, the reunion... we are ready to start working.

Our olive fields do not undergo any chemical treatment, they are even certified "organic"... And all the olives are picked by hand thanks to our vibrating combs and nets that collect the fruit, it makes the task more difficult but gives at the end a better quality product...

BERGAMOT OIL CHOSEN BY THE JURY

You guessed it… it's Bergamot and we're proud of it.

Cold extraction, acidity level, and organolopetic characteristics are essential criteria for the analysis of an "Extra Virgin" olive oil.

Our Values

Within Lucangeli, the values of commitment, quality and sharing are essential for us and are particulary close to our hearts...

A word by the Founders

"We are happy to meet you in the middle of the olive farm. But that’s not enough to make the presentation !

To begin, we are three young graduates..." It is through a common passion for Italian olive oil that we decided to create Lucangeli with the aim of perpetuating the ancestral know-how resulting from our exploitation.
