Trapani, the land of good olive oil
The province of Trapani is known as the land of good olive oil: the mild climate of western Sicily makes these hills an ideal place to grow olive trees.
It is the hilly soil of the Trapani countryside that makes our oil unique: its composition gives the extra virgin olive oil distinctive sensory qualities, found in its intense aroma and bold taste.
