Fattoria Scirinda - Ribera (AG) - Sicily

The farm "Fattoria Scirinda" was founded in 1890 with Francesco Paolo Pasciuta and handed down over time a Olearia culture of the highest level combining modern production standards, with a centuries-old experience. The plants are cultivated at a height of 3-4 meters thus allowing the manual harvesting, through a process defined combing, where you pass some wooden combs to caress the plant to drop the fruit in nets lying in the ground below. From the nets the olives are transferred in plastic boxes well aerated then transported in a short time to the mill oil where they begin the mechanical procedures that lead to the extraction of the oil from the olives. The olives at the mill enter the production process, poured into the extraction machine are sieved, washed and finally pressed in such a way as to obtain an oily paste that is left to knead before being centrifuged to separate the solid paste from the oil. This extraction process is carried out cold, naturally and without chemical agents. This is how you get a high- quality product that is then stored, in a cool and dry place, protected by oxidizing agents, ready to be bottled
