Descrizione
110 years of an olive oil business in Liguria as told from different perspectives
The history of a family, an Italian story. An olive oil family: the Santagatas, from Liguria to the world. Expanding abroad was a successful intuition, a brave and strategic choice rewarding the pioneer companies while enhancing their brand value, as proven by the olive oil international trades’ history. In this unique and in many ways unrepeatable period grew the experience of the Santagata family, that established its business at the start of the past century.
After 110 years, Santagata 1907 Spa is today a solid and healthy enterprise, still fully owned by the same family.
