From his love for his land, Franco founded the Suatoni olive press in 1949, and today, Francesco and Giuditta, with innovation and passion, continue and pass on this important business. Ten hectares of land surround the company, cultivated with geometries that never compete with nature.
The olive press, the cornerstone of the project, is accompanied by an exhibition and sales space for the products. It is enriched by the “Rajo Tasting Room,” where the family welcomes visitors for tastings and hospitality.

The company’s flagship products are the PDO Umbria extra virgin olive oil and a rare single-variety oil, made from a typical local cultivar called Rajo.
The Rajo, a precious variety worth preserving, soon led Giuditta and Francesco to decide to manage and enhance other plots beyond those owned by the family. Thus, for some years now, they have been taking care of ancient Rajo plants around the house of a Roman family in Montecampano.
A unique place that opens onto the valley, where these old wise trees with enormous trunks – some of them even have names – converse with each other in a heavenly setting, still producing pure green gold.
This olive grove, for its historical, artistic, scenic, and identity significance, has been given a name: “Uliveto storico secolare Rajo,” which has become a Slow Food Presidium for ancient olive trees.

Continuing to cultivate tradition and innovation, the company is also planting a new olive grove with an ancient local cultivar, the Goggia, rediscovered a few years ago by the CNR (National Research Council) of Perugia.

6,000 olive trees of Pendolino, Frantoio, Leccino, Moraiolo, and Rajo varieties yield an extra virgin olive oil of the highest quality, also because the olives are still strictly handpicked and crushed using the innovative continuous cycle and cold pressing system.

Since 1996, the Suatoni company has transitioned to organic farming, positioning itself as a pioneer in the Amerino area and playing a leading role in cultural growth. The philosophy upheld by Francesco and Giuditta is one of goodness and beauty, where respect and biodiversity, care, relationships, and innovation merge together.
