The history of the Roi family begins in 1900 when Giuseppe, the great-grandfather “Pepin u Roi”, built the first oil mill using the wood and stones of our valley. It is the beginning of a long journey that reaches today, up to Paolo, who with his father spends all his time and passion in the family oil mill.

What makes our products unique?
42 hectares of olive groves in the Argentina valley overlooking the Mediterranean sea, gives our oils unique characteristics linked to the land. Olives have been farmed here since Roman times.
What problem are we solving?
Our oil derives exclusively from the first cold pressing of the olives. We use the newest technology without heating the paste or adding hot water, to give our EVOO greater bio nutrition, organoleptic superiority, and better preservation.
How are the flavors achieved?
Producing Ligurian quality oil is an art, but much of the merit is attributed to the variety of plants in the territory that have low acidity, a fruity aroma, and a sweet sensation. This enhances the oil without being intrusive.
