Since 1970. No shortcuts.
Where the Salento Meets the Table
In Casarano, at the heart of the Salento peninsula in Puglia, the Primiceri family has been pressing olives for generations. Founder Marco Primiceri acquired his first mill in a nearby village in 1970, establishing what has become one of the most respected names in southern Italian extra virgin olive oil.
The company produces exclusively 100% Italian extra virgin olive oil, cold-extracted from prized native cultivars: Leccino, Favolosa, Cellina di Nardò and Ogliarola Leccese. No blending. No imported oils. Every bottle traces directly to the groves of the Salento.
Primoljo’s business philosophy rests on four non-negotiable principles: food safety, efficient distribution, contemporary design and deep territorial identity. A standard that has earned them markets across Europe, Japan and the United States.
Forme d'Oro 2024 — Double gold at the international competition "Le Forme dell'Olio": gold for gourmet oils, gold for grape must vinegar. Two first prizes in the same year. A result earned, not granted.
