Antonino Mennella is a passionate extra virgin olive oil producer from the Salerno area of Campania. On his small 2000-tree farm, he produces our limited edition Raro (“rare”), and  Itran’s extra virgin olive oils from pitted or “denocciolati” olives. He uses advanced pressing and processing technology to provide a ‘super’ extra virgin olive oil with double the average content of polyphenol antioxidants and an astoundingly low level of free oleic acid, almost the same level of freshness as an olive still on the tree.
