IL Fiorello

What IL Fiorello does

IL Fiorello is a family-owned olive oil producer and agritourism estate located in Suisun Valley, Fairfield, California. The company operates a 16-acre organic farm planted with more than 3,000 olive trees spanning 13 Mediterranean varieties, and runs what is described as one of the most modern Pieralisi milling facilities in North America, using two-phase extraction at a capacity of 3-5 tons per hour. The estate holds dual organic certification (CCOF and Certified Naturally Grown), and its oils have accumulated 29 awards in 2026, including a Best of Class and a 9th-place U.S./19th-place global ranking. The company sells single-varietal and co-milled flavored olive oils, balsamic reductions, and related artisanal pantry products.

The business operates multiple complementary revenue streams. Direct-to-consumer revenue is generated through the Grove Club subscription (priced at $85-$115 per shipment), an on-site retail store, and an online shop. Agritourism and on-site F&B revenue comes from a bistro (staffed by a dedicated Chef de Cuisine and including a recently launched Baked Goods corner), olive oil tastings, farm tours, and recurring seasonal events such as the 15th Annual Lavender Weekend. A B2B custom-milling service uses the estate's Pieralisi mill to process fruit for more than 200 private regional growers (including 86 at the 2025 Community Milling Day), and the estate is also available for private events including weddings and corporate functions. The company partners with the UC Davis Olive Center on cultivation research and varietal trials, and has invested in a dedicated Master Miller to professionalize operations. The operation remains small, with 1-10 employees and no public revenue disclosure.
