Why Oro di Campagna olive oil?

Agrigento: Home of extraordinary flavors and rare treasures

In the picturesque landscape of Sicily lies Agrigento, a province known not only for its breathtaking beauty but also for its culinary treasures. Here, where the sun shines all year round and the earth is full of secrets, we produce our unique organic olive oil.

The special taste of our olive oil

Our olive oil from Agrigento is characterized by an exceptional flavor profile. It has a perfect balance between fruitiness and spiciness, with a slight sharpness in the finish. It owes this complexity not only to the ideal climatic conditions, but also to the unique soil characteristics of the province.

Rare Mineral Oils: The Secret in the Soil

What makes our olive oil truly unique are the rare mineral oils found in the soils of Agrigento. These mineral components subtly influence the taste of our olives:

  1. Richness : The minerals give the oil a special depth and complexity.
  2. Terroir effect : Similar to wine, the specific terroir shapes the character of our oil.
  3. Natural flavors : The petroleum oils contribute to the unique flavors that characterize our oil.

Traditional cultivation methods

We use traditional, organic farming methods to make the most of the natural benefits of our surroundings. Our olive trees grow in harmony with the environment and naturally absorb the special properties of the soil.

Pistacchio di Raffadali: Another jewel of the region

In addition to our exquisite olive oil, Agrigento is also home to another culinary specialty: the Pistacchio di Raffadali DOP . This special type of pistachio has enjoyed EU protected origin (PDO) status since 2020.

What makes Pistacchio di Raffadali so special?

  • Unique taste : Intense, slightly sweet with a pleasant saltiness.
  • Aroma : Characteristically nutty with light roasted aromas.
  • Texture : Particularly creamy and delicate.

The special climatic conditions and the mineral-rich soils of Agrigento also give these pistachios their distinctive character. They are often referred to as the "green diamonds" of Sicily.

A place full of taste and history

Agrigento is not only a place of culinary excellence, but also a place of rich history. The famous " Valley of the Temples ", a UNESCO World Heritage Site, testifies to the region's millennia-old culture. This combination of history, nature and gastronomy makes Agrigento a truly special place. Our organic olive oil from Agrigento is more than just a product - it is an expression of this unique province. Each drop tells the story of a place where nature and culture combine in an extraordinary way to create something truly special.
