FREE DELIVERY FOR ORDERS OVER £100At the heart of Cassaro, a small village perched among the scenic Monti Iblei in Sicily, lies Cunzatillu, a farm born from a shared dream to revive and celebrate the region’s olive growing heritage through organic cultivation. What started as an idea among three young siblings – Francesca, Sebastiano and Eva – has grown into a courageous project rooted in love for their land, the traditions of Sicilian farming, and a commitment to quality that reflects the spirit of their home.
The olive trees under their care are scattered across limestone-rich terraces overlooking the valley of the river Anapo, where centuries-old groves and newer plantings thrive side by side. Here, in an area where the landscape itself seems to whisper stories of ancient cultivation, the family tends every tree by hand, embracing the rugged beauty and challenges of “heroic” olive growing – a term Sicilian growers use for the hard-won care of olives on steep, terraced land. Their organic cultivation methods respect the natural balance of the land, preserving biodiversity and enhancing the character of their organic oil.
Cunzatillu was created not merely to produce organic oil, but to honour a cultural legacy and safeguard the agricultural identity of this corner of eastern Sicily. The family’s work is a blend of devotion, resilience and respect for their territory, and every grove reflects their deep connection to the culture and terrain of the Monti Iblei.
