The 2024 label of Olio Grullo is dedicated to the Tour de France, the most famous cycling race in the world. Legend has it that 120 years ago, a group of cycling enthusiasts set out on a unique journey, pedaling from mill to mill to sample the season’s freshest oils.: this was called the “Tour della Frangitura”. This year’s edition started in Florence, with a stop at the Frantoio dell’Olio Grullo, where many runners filled their water bottles with tuscan olive oil.

The 2023 label of Olio Grullo is dedicated to artificial intelligence (AI, for friends). Some worry it might crack the secret recipe of Olio Grullo and develop its own version, the ‘Chat IGP’, to compete with us for the prizes of our renowned Tuscan oil. Fortunately, its complex calculations have failed, but there are those who swear they saw it in the computer of our modern oil mill, intent on counting the olives one by one.

The 2022 label of Olio Grullo is dedicated to Russian leaders who, once the pandemic was over, instead of the classic pizza party, decided to invade poor Ukraine, perhaps thinking that they were tastier there. The international community, in response to this unfortunate decision, sent Russian oil producers, instead of the coveted Olio Grullo, laxative bottles, to make them spend more time in the bathroom instead of tormenting the poor Ukrainians.

The 2021 label of Olio Grullo was dedicated to this year’s space race, when billionaires like Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson and Elon Musk fought it out with rockets to be the first to send other billionaires like them into orbit! In fact, rumor has it that the oil sommelier association, NASA (famous for the highly developed olfactory sense of its members), has placed its reserves of the very rare Olio Grullo 2021 in orbit.

The 2020 Olio Grullo label was dedicated to the Corona Virus which forced millions of people indoors, transforming them into expert bakers, triggering the phenomenon known as the pandemic “abundance of bread”. The WSO, World Semolina Organization, is still struggling to find a suitable vaccine. To deal with the emergency and facilitate the disposal of all that bread, they decided to use Grullo oil to transform it into tasty bruschetta.

The 2019 Olio Grullo label was dedicated to Global Warming, or the increase in temperatures caused by man. The phenomenon also reached the North Pole where polar bears had to rent umbrellas to shelter their reserves of Grullo Oil from the heat. In addition to disturbing bears, Global Warming is compromising the work of small farmers like us. So if this year you can’t get your bottle of Olio Grullo you know who to blame!
