Madama Oliva began in Castel Madama, a small rural village to the east of Rome, where some families dried and sold local black table olives in the nearby markets. The Mancini family distinguished itself in this activity, for its commitment and passion, which by, combining tradition and increasingly advanced industrial technologies, quickly reached surprising results. Today, Madama Oliva is a global company, active in all five continents; its name is synonymous with quality preserves and olive products.
