So get in, let’s open the Cabrio convertible hood and enjoy the wind as we drive along the provincial road.

Welcome in Umbria, the green heart of Italy with natural attractions, rustic charm, and an explosion of intense Mediterranean scents. Enter the world of olive oil and discover the charm of these extraordinary trees – an experience which you will never forget.

Frugal like an olive tree – the people in Umbria

There is a lot to discover in Umbria – especially peace and relaxation. In the small towns soaked with history like Paciano, you can still feel the pulse of the world at a slower rhythm. It’s almost as if the clocks tick differently. This is another aspect that contributes to the region's charm, because it is not the tourists that set the pace, but nature and life in a true, lively community where everyone knows and helps each other.

Here, where agriculture is everywhere, weather is not simply weather, but a fixed value that affects everyone. You can discover a new kind of life within a community, who is based on values such as friendship, helpfulness and authenticity. People are down-to-earth and find their roots in their territory – just like the olive trees that have always been, and will forever remain, the pride of the family for generations.

Regional origin – our Italian extra virgin olive oil

Umbria’s soil is perfect for olive trees. They have been growing practically everywhere for centuries and their knobby trunks contribute to the charm of this region. In Paciano - known for its excellent Italian olive oil - olive trees grow well thanks the fertile soil.

Its excellent mineral composition and a very peculiar microclimate create the ideal environment for the ripening of the olive. We give them the time they need to ripen naturally and don’t use any growth accelerator. This is how we grow top-quality olives, which BUTTINALE 73 transforms into an Italian gourmet product with a unique and unforgettable taste. We have so much more to tell you.

An insider’s tip

Even if Lake Trasimeno, with a surface area of 128 km², is the fourth largest lake in Italy and the largest of the Appennine area, it’s yet to be considered an insider’s tip for tourists.
Right in the middle

Umbria is bordered by Tuscany, Lazio and Marche. It is the only Italian region having neither a coastline nor a common border with other countries.
