Discovering Tuscany's Liquid Gold

In the heart of Sarteano's verdant hills in Siena province, Frantoio Tistarelli stands as a testament to four generations of olive oil craftsmanship. This family-owned mill transforms carefully selected Tuscan olives into delicate, fruity extra virgin olive oils using state-of-the-art cold extraction technology. Alfa Laval machinery ensures zero oxygen contact and pristine quality, capturing the essence of the local terroir in every bottle.

The Production Process

The journey begins in the surrounding groves, where prized varieties are hand-picked at peak ripeness. Olives travel directly to the mill for milling within hours, preserving flavors through continuous cold pressing in stainless steel. Visitors witness this innovative yet tradition-rooted process, learning how balance, harmony, and intensity define their acclaimed oils. The facility blends heritage with cutting-edge 4.0 tech for unparalleled purity.

Guided Tours and Immersive Tastings

Guided tours reveal the mill's inner workings, from harvest insights to bottling. Follow with expert-led tastings of three distinct EVO oils, savored neat or on warm bruschetta. Pairings elevate the experience: fresh pinzimonio vegetables, Valdichiana salumi, Pienza pecorino, and robust Rosso di Montepulciano or Colli Senesi wines. End sweetly with cantucci dunked in Vin Santo, embodying Tuscan conviviality.

The Enoteca and Shop Experience

Adjacent to the mill, the enoteca del Frantoio offers a cozy tavern for extended tastings. Browse artisanal specialties like flavored EVOs, handmade pasta, local honeys, jams, and cheeses. Secure online sales and swift delivery make it easy to take home these Made-in-Italy treasures. The welcoming space buzzes with stories from owners Fausta and engineer Nicola Marchetti.

Sarteano's Gateway to Valdichiana

Perfectly positioned on Viale Europa, the mill gates Sarteano's medieval center and nearby Chianciano Terme. It's an ideal stop for Val d'Orcia explorers, blending education, indulgence, and scenic drives through Tuscany's olive-clad landscapes. Open year-round, it invites all to share in a passion that harmonizes innovation, land, and liquid gold.
