Camera di Commercio di Catania

The Massimiliano Spoto farm is a recently-created family-run business that centres its activity and passion on olives and the production of Extra virgin Olive Oil.

The main objective of the company is to search for quality and to produce carefully-selected olives (Nocellare Etnea variety) in order to offer high-quality Extra virgin Olive Oil, produced in limited quantities, to satisfy the consumers who demand excellence and authenticity from this ancient product, mainstay of the Mediterranean diet.

The guarantee offered by the company is the transparency of the cultivation, harvesting and processing techniques used for the olives during production of Extra virgin Olive Oil and the traceability chain.

The olive groves of the company lie at about 320 metres above sea level, between the two rivers, Dittaino and Simeto, and the slopes of Mount Etna in the town of Centuripe in the province of Enna, in the centre of Sicily.The peculiarity and quality of an Extra virgin Olive Oil depend on the delicacy with which all the various phases of production are carried out: the quality of our Olive Oil (obtained exclusively from selected olives of the Nocellare Etnea variety) derives from the attention given to the cultivation of the olive-trees, the production environment and the methods of harvesting and pressing the olives.
All the phases of production of Extra virgin Olive Oil are constantly monitored by specialists during the year, so that the olives are harvested at the best possible moment.

The well ventilated environment and sunny exposure encourage a healthy ripening of the olives. The olive harvest (carried out strictly by hand) usually begins around the middle of October and continues all through November; the olives are pressed within twenty-four hours of picking.
The extraction of the oil is done using the most modern technology accompanied by careful monitoring so that our Extra virgin Olive Oil can boast of a perfect harmony of typically Sicilian flavour and perfume.
