The health benefits of Olive Oil were first mentioned by Hippocrates, the father of medicine. For centuries, the nutritional, cosmetic and therapeutic properties of this golden nectar have been recognized by the people of the Mediterranean basin.
Olive Oil was administered both internally and externally, taking advantage of its outstanding properties, complexity and uniqueness both for health & beauty and for culinary pleasure.
Oliveto del Barbarossa in Italian means “Barbarossa’s Olive Grove”, which is the name of our family estate in Spoleto.
It takes the name from Frederick I “Barbarossa”, who in the XII century was Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, which spanned from the northern Baltic and North sea to the north half or today’s Italy: he had an important role in Spoleto’s history, both of fascination and of strong opposition.
