The best Italian oil mills.
Azienda Agricola Benacquista farm was founded in 1996 in Campoli Appennino, in the beautiful setting of Val Comino, in the Lazio side of the Abruzzo National Park, finding its location in a territory where goat rearing and zootechnics have been for hundreds of years the pillars of the local economy.
Actually called "Via Capranica", the area has plenty of fodder and pastures, where the presence of some specific herbs creates the natural and perfect habitat for the breeding of goats.
The species of goat:
– "Camosciata of the Alps"
– "Grey Goat of Ciociaria"
constitute the basis of the company’s breeding.
The milk derived from these species is low in fat and easily digestible, so as to allow consumption even in the nutrition of children.
Within the company, however, they deal not only with dairy products: the Benacquista brothers, in effect, have expanded the sphere of production with a project of truffle plantations, hence the result that from 1800 to our days has given fame to the town of origin, and that every year is celebrated here, the Campoli Appennino Truffle.

In the Italy of the 60s, extra virgin olive oil was destined to become the most popular condiment, and Bruno Bigucci understood this. Without our father, who started selling olive oil from nothing, at the beginning of the sixties, with his rusty bicycle and bottles, one here and the other there, today the Bigucci Oil Mill in San Giovanni would not exist. in Marignano. When the children, Francesco and Federica, were born, it was natural that they followed in his footsteps.

The pioneer of the tradition of today's family business was Giuseppe Donato Parisi, who in the 1920s started the agricultural production of oil, flour and wine. Later he focused on the production of extra virgin olive oil. Today the company established in the network, manages about 70 hectares of olive groves with different types of olive cultivars, this has allowed in the 2000s to innovate in terms of product by creating the special selection of monocultivars which consists of six varieties of oils (Dolce di Rossano, Nocellara, Coratina, Carolea, Tondina and Biancolilla).

The oil mill dates back to the seventeenth century and was originally operated by mules or horses that turned in circles to turn the two large stone millstones that crush the olives. In the early 1900s it had been modernized with the installation of a steam engine of foreign production which took three days to arrive, pulled by four pairs of oxen. Unique in the whole west side of the Euganean Hills, the oil mill worked for two to three months a year.In early November, farmers arrived from the surrounding villages with their olives, some with ox-drawn cart, others with horse-drawn cart. , who with the wheelbarrow by hand. The current location is an annex of the Villa, where in 1960 the founder, Oreste Barbiero, transferred the business. Today the mill uses two lines, a traditional one with stone millstones and two presses for cold pressing and a more modern one with cold extraction. Currently the son of Oreste 'Paolo Barbiero' with his wife Pierangela manages the business with dedication and respecting tradition. The owned olive groves are divided into two areas: two hectares with 1,000 plants in Monte Brecale and 0.5 hectares with 200 plants in Monte Resino.
