Frantoio Cannone

the family

The Mill of the Cannone family has been active since 1920 thanks to the intuition of the great-grandfather Giovanni who decided to undertake this activity in the heart of the historic center of Andria. He thus began to transform the olives grown in his fields into quality extra virgin olive oil.Thanks to his energetic character, the Cannone family began to embrace the profession of the olive grower, quickly becoming a point of reference for the whole territory. In the early twentieth century the oil mill was not equipped with advanced machinery. The historic millstones, operated by the strength of the mules, were used to transform the olives into a paste which was subsequently pressed with a hand-filled rubber diaphragm, while the oil was separated by decanting. Today, after four generations, theCrusherit is among the most avant-garde in Puglia and we continue to cherish the memory of these ancient techniques by treasuring the advice of our ancestors.
