Our farm owns 6 hectares  of olive trees, with 300 very ancient trees and 4 hectares of relatively young plantations .

​

The olive groves are a mix of different, traditional, Sicilian varieties: Tonda Iblea, Moresca, Biancolilla, Nocellara del Belice, Ogliarola Messinese.

​

Amidst our old fields we also have a small production of “Leucolea”, an ancient variety of completely white olives that produce a very light-colored oil. From history we know that it was used to anoint emperors and as a sacred oil in numerous Greek Orthodox religious functions.

​

The new olive groves were planted in the year 2000, 2007, 2009 and 2020.
 

We harvest by hand from mid-October to mid-November and bring the olives daily to the oil mill. Extraction system by continuous cold cycle.

The processing of the olive tree, like that of the vine, follows a precise and severe production cycle even after harvesting.

​

Thanks to an attentive monitoring of the olive tree and the production cycle, it is possible to obtain a very high-quality oil with strong antioxidant properties, refined organoleptic characteristics and an extraordinary intensity of taste.
