ABOUT ORO SICANI

We are new gen producers of, and your portal to, ridiculously rare Sicilian Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) made from unique olive varieties native to our region in the remote Sicani Mountains of Sicily, Italy.

We are here to celebrate the skilled olive growers in our community and showcase the quality that comes from our breathtakingly beautiful and underrepresented territory. All ORO SICANI EVOO comes direct from our own lands or those of our amici (friends). We’re excited for you to experience it!

OUR REGION

We're in Sicilia, baby! ORO SICANI Estate is based in the south-western province of Agrigento, with the towns of Cianciana, Alessandria della Rocca, and Bivona all nearby. We’re approximately 1,550 metres above sea level, with Monte Sara and Monte Cavallo our most notable neighbours. The Platani River flows through the valleys of our region and out to the Mediterranean Sea, which we’re very fortunate to see from ORO SICANI Estate.

The sun is Sicily’s friend and we experience an abundance of sunny, often humid days, and chilly, rainy winters that are perfect for olive tree planting! 

OUR MISSION

THE PROBLEM WE SEE:

The agricultural industry is rough in general, and even more so in Sicily. Not only are you battling cost of living increases and climate change-induced water shortages, there’s also fewer producers because the younger generation is leaving the small, rural towns to try to earn a better living in larger cities. 

OUR SOLUTION:

‘Sustainability from the soil up’ is our motto. We adhere to regenerative farming principles and optimise every single component of our operations to be as environmentally-minded as possible. Because it is possible, it just requires more thought, sometimes more cost, and a lot of creativity. 

It’s so important to us to contribute how we can. With your help, our Olive Tree Sponsorship in particular helps us to grow new life into the lands we love so much and that are critical to the ecosystem. With our EVOOs such as Amici Prima, we are championing our fellow olive growers and engaging our local community to help ensure its longevity.
