Primilia: the oil
that enchants

- Our excellence

One of the most precious jewels of Frantoio Bonamini is definitely Primilia, a Veneto PDO oil of excellence that in 2024 won first place in the 27th Palio dell'Olio Extra Vergine di Oliva Nuovo, organized by Aipo, with a score of 90/100. Primilia is not just a product: it is a declaration of love for family, roots and memory.

The Origins

Giancarlo's parents, Stefano and Lina Bonamini, married and combined their skills: Lina's farming business merged with Stefano's artisan business, who bought an olive press from a cousin of his father. Thus was born the reality that would lead to Frantoio Bonamini.
