Our Story

Our family organic farm was founded in the 1950s in Scordia, on the Plain of Catania at the foot of Mount Etna, with olive groves planted by our grandfather, Rocco Milluzzo. For three generations, we have cultivated this land, combining tradition with innovation. Today we produce organic extra virgin olive oil with deep respect for the environment, water, and soil.

"As children we helped to pick olives on weekends, for us it was a game in which the whole family participated. It taught us to love these plants that today we cultivate organically and that in return give us an oil we could not do without."

— Rossella Milluzzo

The Territory

Uliveto durante la raccolta con cassette blu

Our farm is located in the heart of eastern Sicily, in Scordia, on the fertile Plain of Catania, south of the Etna volcano. Our olive groves grow on deep volcanic clay soils that give the oil its structure and aromatic intensity. The Mediterranean climate and the daily temperature variations help produce olives rich in polyphenols, while the nearby Biviere di Lentini wetland contributes to a landscape rich in biodiversity.

From Our Land to Your Table

01

Organic Fertilisers

We use exclusively organic fertilisers and green manure to nourish the soil naturally, maintaining its fertility and microbial life.

02

Soil Management

We practise conservation agriculture with minimal tillage and cover crops to protect the soil structure and retain moisture.

03

Biological Pest Control

We protect our olive groves with biological methods, using traps and beneficial insects to control pests without synthetic chemicals.

04

Drip Irrigation

A drip irrigation system allows us to optimise water use, reducing waste and ensuring each plant receives the right amount of water.

05

Annual Pruning

Every year we carry out careful pruning to ensure good sun exposure and optimal air circulation through the canopy.

06

Hand Harvesting

Olives are harvested by hand or with mechanical aids at the optimal moment of ripeness, to preserve their organoleptic qualities intact.

07

Cold Pressing

Olives are pressed within hours of harvest in a continuous-cycle mill at a controlled temperature, never exceeding 27°C.

08

Storage & Bottling

The oil is stored in stainless-steel tanks under nitrogen and bottled to order to guarantee maximum freshness.

09

Dedicated Shipping

We ship directly from Sicily to buying groups across Europe, with protective packaging and fast delivery times.
