EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
Our family arrived on this small piece of land in the heart of Sicily in 1970.
When they arrived, 110 olive trees had already been watching over the land for at least a hundred years.
With commitment and passion, generation after generation, we have continued to care for the olive trees and to plant new ones.
In keeping with tradition, the olives are harvested by hand and sent immediately for cold extraction, unfiltered.
Our oil has won numerous awards, including the gold medal for Best Organic Early Harvest EVOO (new organic extra virgin olive oil) and Best Organic Mature EVOO (mature organic extra virgin olive oil) of the 2019 season at the BIOL international competition.
