THEIR PHILOSOPHY
What makes Frantoio Mimì extra virgin olive oil special?
Frantoio Mimì’s philosophy is one of emotional connection to the land and a refusal to compromise on quality. Working with native Puglian varieties — especially Coratina and Ogliarola Barese — the family produces oils that genuinely reflect their origins. Cold-extracted, early-harvested where appropriate, and subject to rigorous quality control, Mimì’s oils have earned recognition at some of the world’s most prestigious olive oil competitions.
AWARD-WINNING RECOGNITION
Frantoio Mimì has been recognised at multiple international olive oil competitions, confirming the family estate’s position among Puglia’s finest extra virgin olive oil producers.
NATIVE PUGLIAN VARIETIES
The Mimì range centres on Coratina and Ogliarola Barese — two of Puglia’s most characterful native olive varieties — producing oils with genuine regional identity and the bold character that defines great Puglian extra virgin olive oil.
COLD EXTRACTION
All Frantoio Mimì oils are cold-extracted, locking in the aromatic compounds, polyphenols and fresh flavour that distinguish premium Puglian extra virgin olive oil from mass-produced alternatives.
FAMILY HERITAGE
The Conserva family brings generations of Puglian olive oil knowledge to every harvest season. Their personal involvement in every stage of production — from grove management to bottling — ensures consistency, quality and emotional depth in every bottle.

NICK’S SELECTION
Why we chose Frantoio Mimì
We chose Frantoio Mimì because it combines two things we admire most in olive oil producers: deep respect for Puglian tradition and an uncompromising commitment to quality. The Conserva family has created something rare — a modern family estate with genuine emotional roots in the land.
Their award-winning Coratina is one of the finest expressions of this great Puglian variety we have encountered. Bold, complex and richly polyphenolic — it represents exactly what great southern Italian olive oil should taste like.
Frantoio Mimì is Puglia at its proudest. A family, a landscape and a craft that produces oils worthy of your table.
Frantoio Mimì is based in Contrada Gravinella, Modugno, in the province of Bari, Puglia.
Mimì was Domenico Conserva, whose passion for olive oil inspired the family business. Today, his family continues his dream through Frantoio Mimì.
Its strength lies in the combination of Puglian heritage, family passion, modern milling technology, careful production and award-winning oils.
Choose Coratina for intensity, bitterness and peppery structure. Choose Ogliarola or Peranzana for a more elegant, versatile finishing oil. Choose a blend for balance and everyday use.
Yes. Its strong story, premium quality and beautiful Puglian provenance make it an excellent gift for food lovers, home cooks and anyone who appreciates Italian produce.
