What Agrioil does

Agrioil S.p.A. is an Italian extra virgin olive oil producer founded in 1989 and headquartered in Roccadaspide, in the Cilento region of Campania. The company is structured as a joint stock company composed of 77 members, including olive growers and oil mills, functioning as a vertically integrated producer cooperative. It operates a single integrated Mill 4.0 facility that combines mechanical harvesting, cold extraction with helical-blade malaxing tanks, separation, and nitrogen storage in steel tanks, supported by an in-house quality control laboratory. Agrioil also participates in EU-funded circular-economy research projects — notably the BIOLIVAGOLD membrane filtration program with ENEA and the Hi-Life supercritical CO2 extraction initiative — targeting recovery of polyphenols and bioactive compounds from olive mill vegetation water.

The company sells a multi-brand portfolio including Stilla (core retail brand with Classics, Flavored, Evolution, PRO for HO.RE.CA., and Gift Pack sub-lines), Marchesa Maria (deluxe DOP/organic/100% Italian line), Olio Novo (premium cultural 12-bottle collection), and the historic export-oriented Rocca brand. Distribution spans 33 countries across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Africa via an international distributor network, dedicated HO.RE.CA. direct sales, and direct-to-consumer e-commerce on agrioil.it. Agrioil holds DOP Colline Salernitane certification (covering 87 municipalities) alongside ISO 9001, ISO 14001, BRCGS, IFS Food, Halal, CCPB Organic, and CSQA certifications, and is qualified as a Benefit Corporation aligned with ISO 26000 and the UN 2030 Agenda. Recent recognition includes the 2024 PMI Award from Politecnico di Milano for digital transformation and 2026 ESG Makers Food recognition.

Agrioil generates revenue through unit-priced sales of branded EVO across consumer retail, professional food service, and gifting formats, with pricing ranging from approximately €9 per retail bottle to €30 for premium gift packs and bulk/PRO formats (250ml-5L) for HO.RE.CA. customers. Go-to-market combines event-driven international trade shows (TUTTOFOOD, Gulfood, Anuga, SIAL), an internal export department providing customized labeling and technical-commercial support to B2B distributors, direct enterprise field sales to professional kitchens, and owned e-commerce. Ownership is distributed among the 77 producer members with Cosmo Quaglia serving as Managing Director; no parent company, external institutional investors, or funding rounds are disclosed.
