The Red Macina Oil Mill

About Us

Our oil comes from our olives and those of the growers in the Bevagna area “Zona Dop Umbria Colli Martani”, from whom we purchase the product, collecting it every day and processing it within the following 24 hours.

The “LA MACINA ROSSA” mill also processes olives for third parties and has become over the years a point of reference for local producers to whom it provides complete assistance to defend and protect the production of our territory.

We have been collaborating for over 30 years with the Umbria Region and the University of Agriculture of Perugia as a pilot company for experimental projects in the field of agricultural crops and corporate sustainability projects.

How our oil is born

Our product is the result of obsessive attention that we pay throughout the production cycle, starting from the cultivation and pruning techniques of the olive trees, to continue with the harvesting and collection of the product and then transform the olives and obtain the EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL.

The day's harvest is processed within 24 hours by a Pieralisi plant certified for cold extraction: temperatures never exceed 27 degrees and the process occurs in the absence of oxygen. Techniques that allow us to have a product with excellent organoleptic characteristics and nutritional values, very low acidity and a balanced presence of polyphenolic compounds and fatty acids.

Our extra virgin olive oil is aimed at a select clientele that grows every year and that has been loyal thanks to the high quality of the product and its unique characteristics of traceability and conservation.

This growing recognition from customers increasingly comforts us in our choice to guarantee the highest quality to the consumer through our local supply chain.

Our brands

Our product is bottled and marketed under 2 brands that differ only in the production period, both having the same high quality:

OTTOBRINO is the first oil of the season with an intense and spicy flavor, produced at the beginning of the olive oil campaign (first ten days of October) and until the end of October. It is a blend of three different Cultivars (moraiolo leccino frantoio), it has a bright green color, a fruity aroma with strong bitterness and spiciness.

BARONE VERDE is a fruitier and more mature extra virgin olive oil that is extracted in November and which maintains all the organoleptic characteristics of the first oil, with a sweeter flavour depending on the different degree of ripeness of the golden coloured olives with more delicate bitter and spicy notes.

How to consume it

Our oil can be enjoyed right away with the renowned bruschetta that our mother prepares for customers who come to visit us to purchase the product during the oil campaign at the company center in Bevagna Traversa Madonna delle Grazie.

Oil pairs wonderfully with all foods, especially meats and vegetable and legume soups.
