The farm
One family, one olive mill and the land of Pianella: since 1917 we grow and process what we bring to your table.
Our story
Generations of farmers, since 1917
The Scorrano family has been farming for generations, even before 1917, when Giuseppe Scorrano bought the old farmhouse and the olive mill dating from 1880 where the farm is still based today. For more than a century the culture of olive oil and the miller’s craft have been handed down, with a very strong bond with the land of Pianella.
The farm lies in the hills of Pianella, in the province of Pescara, halfway between the mountains and the sea. It offers a welcoming place to taste our products, watch the work in the kitchen workshop, learn to recognise the crops in the fields and walk among the farm animals.
How we work
A complete, organic supply chain
We grow and look after the whole product chain, from seed to packaging, with the greatest respect for nature and for the biodiversity that characterises our products in every season. These values led us to farm organically: crop rotation and diversification, no preservatives or additives in processed products, only fresh, healthy, selected raw materials.
We take great care to protect and recover the regional specialities that have always characterised our land, such as the Pera d’Abruzzo tomato, emmer, Solina wheat and the Sclucchijata Montepulciano grape jam.
The olive mill
The miller’s craft, tradition and technology
Our oil starts from the single-variety Dritta groves in the Pianella area, known as the “golden triangle” of Abruzzo olive oil. Processing takes place in the old family mill, where we keep a traditional plant with granite millstones and hydraulic presses alongside a more modern continuous-cycle extraction plant.
The oil is stored in stainless steel tanks under nitrogen to keep its deep colour, body and intense fruity flavour. We bottle our oil ourselves, guaranteeing the safety and quality of a 100% Italian product.
Visits for families, travellers and schools
By reservation we organise farm visits, workshops and tastings of our products according to the season, explaining the whole supply chain: a walk through the olive groves and fields, a visit to the mill and a tasting.
Short supply chain and buying groups
Eating well should also mean a fair price and a sustainable way of farming. That is why we believe in the short supply chain and in local farmers’ markets, where the producer meets the consumer directly; for those further away we can help organise buying groups to share shipping costs.
