iGreco

What iGreco does

iGreco (legal entity Fattorie Greco s.r.l.) is a third-generation, family-owned Calabrian food and beverage producer headquartered in Cariati, in the historic Magna Graecia territory between ancient Kroton and Sybaris along the Nicà river. The company produces two core product categories: extra virgin olive oil (standard 100% Italian, DOP-certified, BIO organic, and flavored variants in 250ml to 1L formats) and wines (still wines Il Bianco, Il Rosato, Il Rosso, Filù Greco Bianco, Masino, Catà, Savù, plus sparkling Gran Cuvée Millesimato Rosé and Bianco produced via Metodo Classico). A third line — Tommy monodose single-serving olive oil portions in stick and mignon formats — is the company's flagship B2B product.

Production is vertically integrated across 250 hectares of owned olive groves in the provinces of Cosenza and Crotone, with in-house bottling and monodose packaging. Notable technical/production methods include night harvesting (Vendemmia Notturna) for the Masino wine and exclusive use of indigenous Calabrian grape varieties (Gaglioppo, Greco Bianco, Nero di Calabria). The company holds BRC international food safety certification — the only such certified operator in Calabria and one of four in Italy — alongside IGP Calabria, DOP, and BIO organic certifications.

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market: enterprise B2B (exclusive monodose supply to McDonald's at ~120 tonnes/year plus emerging Trenitalia/Frecciarossa transportation catering channel), HoReCa distribution through Italian and international upscale restaurants and hotels, direct-to-consumer e-commerce via shop.igreco.eu, international export to 70+ countries (USA, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Japan with stated interest in China and Russia), and on-site agritourism at the Cariati production facility. Wine bottles retail at €6.50–€18.00; olive oils at €16–€18 per liter. Distribution relies on trade show presence (Vinitaly, Salone Nautico di Genova), experiential tasting tours, and earned media rather than paid acquisition.
