To bring to every Italian's table the product that makes the tricolour proud around the world: olive oil.The founder's dream, Vittorio De Carolis
Our story
From father to son, the same passion.
The De Carolis story begins in the 1950s, in a garage on Via della Stazione in Cisterna di Latina. That is where a family's project took shape: bringing good, honest olive oil to everyday tables.
Three generations have shaped this journey, combining know-how with new ideas, new products and new markets. From that first garage to international trade fairs, the passion for this work remains a family legacy.

1950s
It all starts in a garage
Vittorio De Carolis starts the business in a small garage on Via della Stazione, in Cisterna di Latina. He looks after everything himself and, day after day, builds his relationship with customers. That first space is where the roots of the De Carolis brand were born.

1980s
From father to son
Giulio De Carolis, who grew up alongside his father, takes over. The business expands, and its growth passes through the plant on Via Appia, again in Cisterna di Latina.
With the second generation come new business opportunities and partnerships with large-scale retail, including the packing of customers' own-brand products.

The third generation looks to the world
At eighteen, Vittorio De Carolis, the founder's grandson and namesake, joins the company. He immediately focuses on international development, with trade fairs and business meetings, especially in Asia.
- Seoul
- Shanghai
- Wuhan
- Japan
- Brazil
These are some stops on a journey made of travel, relationships and knowledge of different markets. In the following years the business reaches Latin America, with an important trade agreement in Brazil.
Meanwhile, in Italy, the De Carolis brand renews its image, range and communication, with an increasingly recognisable presence in the area.
