About CARAPELLI (from Wikipedia):

******Carapelli (Carapelli Firenze SpA) is an Italian food company based in Tavarnelle Val di Pesa, which is a small town in the Metropolitan City of Florence, most famous for its extra virgin olive oil. The company was started as a home business in 1893 by Cesira and Costantino Carapelli. Other members of the Carapelli family joined the business and the company rapidly grew in size and popularity. Today, Carapelli Firenze is the leading Italian extra virgin olive oil producer (with brands such as Carapelli, Sasso, Maya)******
