Camillo Franchi Scarselli non avrebbe mai immaginato di diventare olivicoltore.
Per anni ha avuto un’agenzia di marketing a Roma. Tutto è cambiato quando si è trasferito sulle colline della Sabina romana e ha scoperto un paesaggio dove gli ulivi hanno formato la terra e le persone per secoli.
Nello stesso periodo sua figlia Julia studiava scienze ambientali e architettura negli Stati Uniti.
Quando è tornata a casa, si sono accorti insieme di una cosa allarmante.
Gli uliveti che avevano definito la Sabina per generazioni stavano lentamente sparendo: il cambiamento climatico aveva reso i raccolti meno prevedibili, i costi di produzione continuavano a salire, i giovani se ne andavano dalla campagna, e per molte famiglie continuare non aveva più senso dal punto di vista economico. Libellula nasce come risposta a questa realtà.
Non solo per produrre olio, ma per costruire un modello capace di rendere di nuovo sostenibile, anche economicamente, la cura di questi uliveti.
Oggi Libellula lavora con una rete di piccole famiglie contadine intorno a Palombara Sabina, e aiuta a custodire insieme il paesaggio e il sapere che lo tiene in piedi.
Il programma di adozione degli ulivi permette a chiunque di sostenere il recupero degli uliveti abbandonati, e ogni bottiglia riflette la stessa filosofia: olive raccolte a mano, coltivate senza pesticidi e frante entro ventiquattro ore dalla raccolta, per conservare la freschezza, il sapore vivo e l’alto contenuto naturale di antiossidanti del frutto.
Da qualche anno la famiglia apre anche le porte di casa, accogliendo solo cinque ospiti alla volta per far vivere la Sabina romana tra uliveti, abbazie, ville imperiali e un ritmo più lento.

Ugly Duckling 375ml Classico, 2025 Harvest
As some of you know, our very first shipment of the new harvest arrived, to our dismay, smashed. The few bottles that did survive don’t look very pretty… but the oil inside is absolutely beautiful. And because we never want to waste what the land and our farmers have worked so hard to produce, we would love for these bottles to still find their way onto a kitchen table. So if you’re open to something that looks pretty rough on the outside (but is spectacular on the inside), we have a few “ugly duckling” bottles available for the cost of shipping and handling only. PLEASE NOTE: These bottles are NOT pristine. The labels are scratched, ripped, torn etc. This is truly an "ugly duckling" bottle, so please be aware of this before ordering.

100 ml Classico Mini
The Classico Mini is the perfect way to try Libellula Extra Virgin Olive Oil or to send as a gift to friends and family! The 100ml glass bottle comes with a built-in pour spout. Classico Flavor Notes: floral & peppery, with undertones of apple & artichoke. Your go-to olive oil for salads, fish, daily cooking & hors d'oeuvres. ––– Our Classico Extra Virgin Olive Oil comes from olives of the Leccino variety from our autumn 2024 harvest. We harvest the olives in November, when they have reached peak ripeness, and then press them within 24 hours. In this way, none of the oil's antioxidants, vitamins, and other unique properties are lost. And thanks to the “cold pressing” production process, the acidity level is maintained between 0.6 and 0.8%, ensuring a smooth profile and texture.

100 ml Riserva Mini
––– From Autumn 2024, the Riserva is our early harvest, limited-release extra virgin olive oil. It is 5-6x higher in polyphenols and antioxidants than typical extra virgin olive oil.
