A FAMILY STORY

"The Mediterranean extends from the first olive tree that can be reached from the north to the first palm groves that rise near the desert and we can talk about an olive civilization in the sea of olive groves" (F. Braudel)

The olive tree is the symbolic tree par excellence of civilization and the humanized Mediterranean landscape. It represents the history of the family, the landscape inherited from the ancestors. It is a gift that is transmitted from generation to generation.

And it is the fourth generation of a family of olive farmers and oil mills that today takes care of the Sarullo company, located in a suggestive area of Sicily, in the area of the Sicani Mountains, very close to the sea and not far from the Valley of the Temples of Agrigento. The company extends in an area that includes the territory of the municipality of Calamonaci and some neighboring towns, in a hilly area that has always been suitable for olive growing, about 300 meters above sea level and dotted with centuries-old olive trees.

LOVE FOR THE EARTH FOR FOUR GENERATIONS with an eye turned to the future

The history of the Sarullo company is intertwined with the story of a family that has been transmitting love for the land and its products for four generations.

From the beginning of the twentieth century to the present day, the Sarullo company has always put people at the center of its activity, considered the most precious asset. A team of different people for skills and experiences but united by the same objectives: to consolidate the culture of extra virgin by informing, training and educating the new generations and best satisfy customers through the creation of an oil that combines family tradition and know-how with the most advanced technologies.

The new oil mill of Gaspare Sarullo e Figli stands on the S.S. 386 in the territory of Ribera, on the border with the municipality of Calamonaci, 40 km from the Valley of the Temples of Agrigento. A unique territory, not only for the beauty of its breathtaking landscape. It is a territory in which the best pedoclimatic conditions for olive groves are conveyed, guaranteeing a fruit with an unforgettable scent and unparalleled flavor.

Inaugurated on September 29, 2002, it replaces the old oil mill in Calamonaci, which has marked the history of the family for several generations. The new structure is equipped with all the characteristics of a modern oil mill to which is added the experience of the workers in the transformation process that is carried out inside the structure by very modern machinery.

The gaze turned to the future, therefore, without forgetting the patient processing of a time that has allowed this family to really know and love every aspect of this precious green gold.

All technological improvements have had as its end the production of an oil that can maintain unaltered scents and flavors and all its beneficial properties and its incredible mix of antioxidants.

The meticulous care of a product such as Sarullo oil also passes from attention to all other phases. The company, in fact, takes care of every step of the entire olive-oil supply chain:

Cultivation

Transformation

Storage

Bottling

Marketing of the product.
