DUENOVESEI is an organic farm producing Sabina PDO extra virgin olive oil,spreadable creams based on Sabina PDO oil and other typical specialities of Roman Sabina. We are a few kilometres from Romeand more precisely at the foot of the Monti Lucretili Nature Park, between the small medieval village of Moricone and that of Montorio Romano.
In Sabina for three generations.
Organic producers of Sabina PDO extra virgin olive oil.
Who are we?
A close-knit family that, for three generations, has believed in the value of Nature and the richness of organic olive growingin Sabina.
We cultivate our olive groves organically to offer you an authentic olive oil with a strong identity, to enjoy every day.
I could describe myself as a “bucolic marketing manager” or an eternal dreamer, but the truth is that my life is a constant shuttle between Rome and Moricone. Between my Roman friends and colleagues and my olive trees, my family’s. And so I become the company’s official "blender", having fun with “bitter”, “pungent” and “fruity”; I innovate, invent and, in the end, “decide”: Rosalena, the oil dedicated to my grandmother, will become DUENOVESEI’s flagship bottle. A dedication from the heart, a daily memory.
“Toto”… That’s how everyone in the village knows him. Gentle, quiet and ever-present. He is the true soul of DUENOVESEI, that intelligence able to evolve over the years, that strength that never gives up. And so, while we children refined the “look and feel” and a few processing techniques, Toto was there planting young trees, researching and experimenting with new single cultivars. The secret of his youth? Thinking of his little granddaughter Elisa… a whirlwind among the olive trees!
Engineer, programmer. The house “nerd”. The one who patches up all our IT problems. As in the photo, you’ll rarely see him wearing the company apron. He prefers his Mac, good pizza and writes in C, Java, Python. Languages that we “bucolics” don’t understand. An essential resource for DUENOVESEI’s digital transformation.
Our head of international relations needs no introduction. A front woman and tourism expert, not much used to the land but brilliant and enterprising, thanks to her incurable-traveller spirit. Yet between Rome and the world, she chose to stop at "DUENOVESEI" metres above sea level. That’s enough for us. She is our company smile and the link with the big cities.

What do we do?
We grow olive trees and produce organic extra virgin olive oil and Sabina PDO oil in the heart of Sabina, in Moricone, at the foot of the Monti Lucretili Nature Park.
Here we care for over 1,500 olive trees of Sabina’s historic cultivars — Rosciola, Carboncella, Salviana, Pendolino, Leccino and Frantoio — varieties protected by the Sabina PDO specification that represent our most authentic bond with this land.
Alongside these we also grow Itrana and Leccio del Corno, from which our blends Elivia and Rosalenaand an organic single-cultivar oil with elegant grassy nuances are born.
Where are we?
At 296 metres above sea level, in Moricone, a small village in the heart of Roman Sabina. A land long renowned for the production of Sabina PDO oil.
In one word: Biodiversity
Sabina is a land naturally rich in biodiversity, a living ecosystem where the olive tree grows in balance with the surrounding landscape. Among these hills, woods and clean air, our Sabina PDO oil is born. A historic oil, appreciated since ancient Rome.
How do we work?
We follow a rigorous process to guarantee the quality of the final product. We organically care for every stage: from pruning to harvest, from pressing to storage under nitrogen, in a temperature-controlled environment. To protect every aroma of our extra virgin olive oil.
Three certifications.
One direction.
Organic, Sabina PDO and Rome PGI. They are not mere acronyms. They are three different guarantees telling the same story: an extra virgin olive oil that is controlled, traceable and deeply connected to its land.
Organic
No herbicides, pesticides or shortcuts. Only sustainable agriculture, care for the soil and respect for the plant’s cycles. A clean, authentic, controlled and certified oil.
Sabina DOP
It is not just a protected origin: it is a strict specification safeguarding cultivars, harvesting methods and historical identity. An oil bound to Sabina, impossible to replicate elsewhere.
IGP Roma
A recognition that protects the olive-growing tradition of Lazio by certifying its origin. A supply chain traced step by step to bring our region to the table.
Why do we do it?
Because we have always lived in Sabina. And we have always believed that giving value to this land is the only way to rediscover simple gestures and authentic flavours. These are the guiding principles of our work. We don’t like to call it work, but rather a daily commitment to preserving the nutritional and sensory heritage of Sabina PDO extra virgin olive oil.
