OLIVE OIL CULTURE
The attachment to one’s roots, production rigour and passion that animate Tenuta Chiaramonte are the fruit of the agricultural culture of Sicily and the Hyblean land in particular, which boasts a millenary tradition of olive oil production, started by Greek colonists and later interpreted by the Arabs.
The company, with its extensive olive groves and modern oil mill, is located in the sunny countryside of Ragusa, amidst hills sloping down towards the sea and dry stone walls that have become a World Heritage Site.
EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OILS
BIOLOGICALS OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY
Tenuta Chiaramonte produces and initials organic extra virgin olive oils, including two DOP and one IGP, which excel in quality and organoleptic characteristics, also recognised and awarded in prestigious international competitions.
The oils, in their four versions, are enclosed and offered to the market in bottles distinguished by very special artistic labels, which feature reproductions of the masks typical of Ragusa Baroque.
Milk and containers designed for all other consumption needs also complete the catalogue.
