The Extra Virgin Pioneer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Born in 1891, Zefferino Monini was assigned to the quartermaster during his national service where he managed a food warehouse. When he returned to Spoleto, in Umbria, he decided to set up a food business on the strength of this experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

A successful feeling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Contemplating the olive trees which made the Umbrian hills so beautiful, Zefferino had the intuition which became the turning point in his career. He decided dedicate himself to extra virgin olive oil production, at that time much less known than refined olive oil.
This is how Zefferino Monini Olio di Oliva was born and very soon sales expanded to the neighboring regions of Lazio, Marche and Emilia Romagna.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The war years<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Zefferino wrote the first page in extra virgin olive oil market history by making it accessible to an ever wider public beyond the region of Umbria. However during World War II, olive oil was rationed and production was temporarily stopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was only when the war ended and products were freed of rationing that production began again and his sons Nello, Giuseppe, and Paolo joined their father in the lab and learned his secrets and methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Ahead of its time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Until the 1950s, shopkeepers generally sold oil by the liter from demijohns. After the war, Zefferino\u2019s intuition allowed him to get ahead of the future market demands. Monini thus decided to sell oil in an entirely new way, bringing in the first glass bottles which were more suitable for distribution and consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
