OUR STORY

A Centuries-Strong Tradition of Quality

Founded in 1810 in Northern Italy, Oleificio Zucchi was born from a family’s desire to create a pure, uncompromising oil. What started as a small family seed oil business has become one of the world’s top extra virgin olive oil producers, maintaining the same passion for the high-quality products we set out to create over two centuries ago.
