A job and a commitment: to insist on producing quality oils in an area
in Latina province (Lazio region) the area of Colli Pontine PDO, where many
olive-growing areas have been continuously abandoned in recent decades.

in the quality of olive growing in the high hills on terraced land, where
the cultivation is more difficult but climatic and soil conditions can favour
oils with better nutraceutical characteristics: It means extra virgin oils
with better level or polyphenols and antioxidants.
The extra virgin olive oils of Agresti 1902 has been awarded in many international competitions ranking these oils among the absolute best.
