Frantoio Franci, founded in 1958, has grown from a family-run olive oil producer into a globally celebrated leader in extra virgin olive oil, under the stewardship of Giorgio Franci, son of founder Fernando.

Since presenting its first bottle at the 1996 Sol fair in Verona, the company has amassed an unparalleled record of accolades, including six Leone d’Oro awards—a world record—and a historic 100/100 score from Flos Olei from 2019.

With technological advancements, such as new machinery introduced in 2002 and a custom processing line developed with Pieralisi in 2010, Frantoio Franci has consistently pushed industry standards. Exporting to over 40 countries by 2015, the company earned Gambero Rosso’s Hero of Made in Italy title in 2016 and was named among Forbes’ 100 Italian Excellences in 2025.

With 740 awards by May 2025 and 18 appearances in Flos Olei’s Top 20 Hall of Fame, Frantoio Franci remains a pinnacle of quality and innovation in olive oil production.
