Our passion: Olives
Our product: Olive oil of the finest quality
The family-run BUTTINALE 73 GmbH stands for exceptional extra virgin olive oil from the traditional region of Umbria, where olive cultivation and oil production are deeply intertwined with the landscape, the people, and their culture. Both products are produced in the Frantoio del Trasimeno, their own olive mill, which combines ancient knowledge with state-of-the-art technology – gently, sustainably, and with an uncompromising focus on quality.
What makes these olive oils special is not only the care with which the olives are selected and processed, but the philosophy behind them: enjoyment and health in harmony with nature, soil, and climate. Both products embody the conviction that genuine food must be produced not industrially, but artisanally, with dedication and experience.
In recent years, the company has made targeted investments in state-of-the-art technology: New pressing and filtration systems, precise temperature-controlled processing, and a gentle bottling system ensure that the diverse aromas and important nutrients of the freshly harvested olives are preserved to the best of their ability. This is complemented by the experienced team on-site in Italy – skilled professionals who have mastered their craft and are passionate about it.
This results in an authentic Italian food product for discerning gourmets. The annual awards confirm this passion for olive oil.
Rooted in their homeland. Warm-hearted. True professionals.
Producing exceptional olive oil requires specialized knowledge. And that's precisely what the people here possess. They grew up in the olive grove, have managed our oil mill for decades, and, as certified olive oil sommeliers, are intimately familiar with every nuance of flavor. These experts form the family that produces our special oils from the finest olives: the artisan olive oil "BUTTINALE 73" and "NO. 73," our premium everyday olive oil at the best price.
A German-Italian friendship
Two entrepreneurs who have become best friends: Stefan Hamacher and Norbert Pernstich have dedicated themselves wholeheartedly to olive oil. They are therefore much more than just olive oil producers – they see themselves as ambassadors of this special natural product. With complete passion and love for the land, nature, the people, and its unique flavor, they, along with their families and long-time employees who are like family, give their all: producing olive oil of the highest quality, second to none.
