Our company

On the splendid green hills of Sant’Andrea a Pigli, in the Aretine countryside we find “Podere la Fontaccia” which produces Extra Virgin Olive Oil as it once was produced due to a passion handed down from generation to generation.
The love and passion for this work, a long family tradition, are the elements which characterize the brand “Buona Vita”.
The excellent quality of the soil and the absolutely organic manuring give the Buona Vita Oil fruity perfumes and absolutely unique aromas.
The homemade oil, the collection by hand of the olives with the help of nets and the pressing done day by day (never for over 48hours) with cold grinding by stone are an integrating part of the family tradition, because respecting one’s own story means always offering the maximum quality. The olive plants from which the Extra Virgin Olive Oil Buona Vita is produced are of 5 different qualities, all 100% Italian:

• leccino
• pendolino
• correggiolo
• ciliegino
• frantoiano

The brand Buonavita is born from the desire to share with others the privilege to enjoy a high quality extra virgin olive oil without the hassle of doing this activity the primary source of income for the property of "Podere la Fontaccia" .


The family passion for the production of high quality oil and the desire to maintain this production purely artisanal, mean that the number of bottles produced annually certifies around 2000/3000 units, then an oil "limited edition" .
