Essence of Ancient Italy
The last, unspoilt treasure of a purer time.
"A genuine, pure olive oil is hard to come by in the modern age. When I discovered a Tuscan pocket of paradise, where olive trees grow in ancient, volcanic soils, I knew I had found something rare."
Creator of Aeons
The Home Of Ancient Roots
Deep in the heart of Tuscany lies a quiet pocket of paradise. An ancient and majestic volcano towers above the hills, and nestled on its valleys is a sleepy old farm - the home of Ancient Roots Olive Oil.
It isn’t an olive oil made with cutting edge farming or fancy machinery. Instead, it’s made with tradition. Using methods passed down across generations, and tailored to the special character of the land. Critics call it old fashioned. They insist on a more modern approach. But the wise old farmer knows better:
“When the soil has magic in it,
you don’t
interfere.”
The “magic” comes from the ancient volcano. It erupted 300,000 years ago, covering the land with millions of tonnes of mineral-packed magma. Over many thousands of years, this magma dissolved into a mineral-rich soil, which forms the land today. It’s a unique and special soil, born in the fires beneath the earth’s crust - like a diamond. And for the olive trees that grow there, it’s just as precious.
The trees absorb the minerals, using them to produce olives - little diamonds of their own. These olives are rich in flavour and vitamins, but one thing makes them exceptional. They are bursting with polyphenols - powerful antioxidants celebrated for their health benefits. It’s a priceless gift from the land, and one farmers have cherished for centuries.

These olives are rich in flavour and vitamins, but one thing makes them exceptional. They are bursting with polyphenols - powerful antioxidants celebrated for their health benefits. It’s a priceless gift from the land, and one farmers have cherished for centuries.
Now - just as then - the farmer making Ancient Roots has two simple tasks. Preserve the volcanic soils; protect the olives’ polyphenols. Follow these steps, and you get the most extraordinary olive oil ever tasted. This is why Ancient Roots is made with the same, ancient methods used for centuries. With zero pesticides or fertilisers, and maximum love and respect.
The result is an extra virgin olive oil unlike anything else. The precious product of an ancient paradise. In a world full of vast industrial farms and scientific efficiency, this is the last unspoilt treasure of a simpler, purer time.
With Ancient Roots,
We bring that ritual to
you.
