Olive Farm

Oleificio Guccione stands as one of the oldest olive mills in Chiaramonte Gulfi, a baroque village nestled in the heart of the Hyblaean Mountains. Over time, this village has gained a reputation for the exceptional quality of its locally produced olive oil, once acclaimed by Luigi Veronelli as the 'finest on the island'.

"Oleificio Guccione was founded in 1966 out of our grandparents' passion, initially as a mill serving local olive growers, always driven by a profound commitment to quality and innovation. As pioneers in the region, we abandoned the traditional pressing system in 1990, fully embracing cold pressing and continuous cycle processing."

Cultivation & Processing

The Tonda Iblea olives are hand-picked between mid-September and early October from the centuries-old olive trees nestled in the valleys of Chiaramonte Gulfi, Sicily. Hailed as the Queen of the region, this varietal flourishes in elevated terrains. These delicate olives reveal intensely fruity aromas, complemented by notes of tomato and grass. The harvest is conducted by hand, ensuring the finest fruits are meticulously selected while safeguarding the integrity of the olive trees. The name 'Zahara', derived from Arabic, signifies 'orange blossom'. In Sicily, it refers to the veil of white blossoms that adorn the olive trees.
