Years of commitment and sacrifice that have changed the perception of evoo in Italy and in the world, giving an imitating value to this yellow gold that has become a gourmet ingredient of our daily lives. To crown the years of continous work, an extraordinary recognition arrived, the entry, thanks to the top score of 100/100, in the Hall of Fame of the Flos Olei 2020 Guide, an exclusive category reserved only for 7 of the over 500 selected companies worldwide.
