Cultivation & Processing

Deep in the heart of Tuscany, the Val D'Orcia is tucked away in the region of Siena. The picturesque landscape with flat plains and captivating rolling hills has inspired artists since at least the Renaissance to create beautiful paintings. The Val D'Orcia became a UNESCO World Culture Heritage Site since 2004.

The Villa Magra has been home to the olive farm of the Franti family since 1958. The farm is located on the slopes of the Amiata Mountains above the Val D'Orcia and encompasses over 65ha with approximately 15,000 olive trees. As a family-operated farm, Frantoio Franci made a commitment to producing the best extra virgin olive oils that have won the Leone d'Oro Award on 3 separate occasions since 1999.
