We got our start by pioneering new ways of cultivating and harvesting olives in California to make the highest quality extra virgin olive oil at affordable prices. We've developed our own ranches as well as helped family farmer producers throughout Northern California develop farm acreage into olive orchards using sustainable production methods every step of the way. In addition to our California farmer partners, we proudly partner with the best extra virgin olive oil producers in some of the best olive growing regions around the world. Our global partners share our values of sustainable farming practices, premium production methods, and state-of-the-art storage. All our extra virgin olive oils are certified by Applied Sensory and our California lines additionally uphold the Olive Oil Commission of California (OOCC) standards, one of the strictest in the world. In 2015, we acquired Lucini Italia, a brand of premium extra virgin olive oils, artisanal vinegars and organic tomato sauces handcrafted in Italy. The addition of Lucini Italia launched a new chapter for us to deliver premium foods beyond extra virgin olive oil.

From the small “Fara San Martino Factory”, which started out as a simple mill, to a “world Factory”: De Cecco took on this great challenge and won. A goal achieved thanks to the ability to keep the great traditions of a family company alive without ever giving up on your dreams and the determination to push boundaries. Since 1886, the De Cecco family has guaranteed continuity by handing down their knowledge from father to son and placing great importance on every product. Their active participation in company life and a special dedication to their employees has made the factory into one big family. De Cecco has always kept an eye on the times and responded swiftly to all national and international needs, making its homeland proud. Abruzzo, where the heart of production is still based, saw the birth of De Cecco, saw it grow and now watches it bring excellent pasta to tables all over the world. But in the future even further away destinations await and De Cecco must focus on the horizon. That is why De Cecco is integrated its offer with new lines of products. In 1986 the Olive Oil Company was founded, and would soon be followed by lines of rice, potato gnocchi, tomato products and sauces, balsamic vinegar of Modena, flours, organic products and bread substitutes: in short, everything you need for a good Italian meal.
