Frantoio Tini
Where Innovation Meets Legacy in the Heart of Abruzzo
At MaxVOO, we seek out producers who don’t just follow tradition — they evolve it. Frantoio Tini stands at the forefront of olive oil innovation in central Italy, with over a century of vision, resilience, and technical advancement behind every drop they produce.
Founded in 1921 and continuously operated by the Tini Family, this mill in Castilenti, Abruzzo is not a relic of the past — it’s a bold example of how legacy and progress can thrive together.
A Century of Firsts
The Tini Family is one of the first in their region to invest in cutting-edge milling technology — starting in the mid-20th century and persisting today with continuous-cycle cold extraction, high-capacity decanters, and specialized organic processing systems.
Their evolution from a manually operated press to a modern, efficiency-optimized facility didn’t just happen — it was engineered by generations of forward-thinking family members who saw innovation as a duty, not a departure.
Locally Rooted, Technologically Driven
Frantoio Tini sources olives exclusively from local groves within 20 km — but their approach to processing them is anything but provincial. With rapid milling systems that allow pressing within eight hours of harvest, advanced temperature control, and integrated chemical analysis, their oils achieve precision, freshness, and complexity that few small mills can rival.
This isn’t experimentation for experiment’s sake. Every upgrade, every machine, every procedural refinement is in service of preserving what matters most: the olive’s purest expression.
A Family of Innovators
The Tini name doesn’t just signify tradition — it stands for transformation. Carmine and Vincenzo Tini have expanded the mill’s capabilities and reach, while Roberta di Luigi brings a modern marketing lens that positions the brand for global impact.
Unlike others who outsource innovation, the Tinis live it. Their facility is a model of small-scale agility and precision engineering — a “smart mill” built not in a lab, but in the rhythm of real agricultural life.
Recognized for Leadership in Quality
Frantoio Tini’s oils have earned awards from Slow Food and Sol d’Oro, not only for their flavor but for the integrity and intelligence behind their production. They’re leaders in Abruzzo’s push for quality certification, traceability, and organic process management — often advising other producers on how to elevate their standards.
Why We Chose Frantoio Tini
Many olive oil brands talk about innovation. Frantoio Tini lives it — without sacrificing the soul of family farming. They represent a rare balance: hyper-local sourcing, generational stewardship, and an unflinching embrace of technology. Their oils are clean, precise, expressive — built for modern palates without losing the warmth of heritage.
At TasteMaxVOO, we believe this is what the future of olive oil looks like: not just preserved, but improved.
