About Amici Prima
Why's it so special?
We'll say it: This will probably be the most unique Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) you’ve ever tasted. It’s punchy and complex and unassumingly smooth around the edges, just like our beautiful Sicilia.
We call this incredibly rare EVOO, ‘Amici Prima,’ because it’s the first EVOO of the harvest season from our lands in the remote Sicani Mountains of Sicily, Italy. We also like the energy of “friends first” (its literal translation, albeit grammatically incorrect…whatever, it sounds cool) because it signifies first dibs, first in line, first priority. Which is exactly what you are!
How does it taste?
Vibrantly rich, peppery, with a bold, fruity finish. Expect a delightfully piquant jolt that warms the back of your throat and rounded citrus notes that swiftly follow.
Amici Prima is a coupage – a “maker’s blend” – of the best, most interesting olive varieties native to our secluded territory. In it you’ll taste:
• the unashamed pepperiness of the Cerasuola;
• the creamy, nutty notes of the Nocellara del Belice;
• the delicate, fruity aromas of the Biancolilla di Caltabellotta which originates in one of our neighbouring towns;
• the grounding earthiness of the Piricuddara, which is super uncommon and super specific to our hilly region because it only thrives at high altitude.
It's perfect for...
Drizzling over pasta, dressings + marinades, light frying + crisping. Mamma mia, it is so good you'll want to savour it!

ABOUT ORO SICANI
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 showcase the extraordinary quality that comes from our breathtaking and underrepresented territory.
OUR REGION
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
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 champion 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 our Olive Tree Sponsorship you can offset your carbon footprint and help us to grow new life into the biodiverse terrain of our stunning territory.
