With over 12,000 olive trees of 9 different varieties growing in the foothills of Monte Barrau, it is the combination of the best Sicilian olives, our farm's biodiversity, and our closed-loop production system that produces our award-winning, world-class extra virgin olive oil.

For decades, the Mediterranean Diet has been lauded by doctors, scientists, and nutritionists for its evidentiary reduction in cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, type two diabetes, and weight loss for those struggling with obesity. With only small inclusions of lean meats like poultry, fish, and dairy, Extra Virgin Olive Oil serves as the main source of added fat and plays a crucial role in the success of this health-focused way of eating.

Native to the Monti Sicani region of Sicily, the Biancolilla Centinara olive tree species was thought to be extinct until a team of researchers at the University of Palermo, including our Chief Scientist and Master Botanist, Dr. Pasquale "Mimmo" Marino, rediscovered it. Self-pollinating and quick to produce fruit, Mimmo recognized the importance of this varietal and carefully nurtured the species to once again thrive in the soils of its heritage.
