Nous avons découvert cette huile par hasard et nous avons était conquis immédiatement. C'est une huile exceptionnelle. A découvrir d'urgence et dans modération.

Hidden in an old historic area near Balestrate lies a small boutique olive grove that has been hand cared for for many generations. Grandpa still works the family groves aided by the new generation. Francisco, the grand son, traveled the world learning agraculture and handmaking olive oil, balsemic vinager, and wine. His grand return to the family business and to the the family that welcomed him home to invigerate the business with new world technique. What we have is a hidden gem that combined old and new with a passion that could only generate products that are uncompromising. Grandpa would not have it any other way. We think it is perhaps the best we have ever had especially the olive oil and vinegars. We expect this hidden gem to expand rapidly and hope for the best to remain as good as it is now.

Une visite inoubliable ! Nous avons été enchantés par cette expérience. Tout était parfait, de la découverte des magnifiques oliviers à la dégustation des spécialités siciliennes. Un vrai régal pour les papilles ! L'accueil était chaleureux et l'ambiance conviviale. Je recommande vivement cette visite à tous ceux qui souhaitent découvrir l'authenticité de la Sicile. Un grand merci à Francesco, et son grand-père pour ce moment de partage !

We had such a great experience. The Olive oil is amazing. Also for me, having to eat Gluten free, everything was prepared. Thank you and your Family for the warm welcome!

My family and I visited Francesco for a tour and we were all blown away by the beauty of his grandfathers land, olive trees, and just how passionate Francesco is about his craft. This tour was truly special and one of a kind! After taking us through the land to hear about the history of it all, olives, olive harvesting, and lots of fun facts about olive oil Francesco took us to see some amazing views in Balestrate which was super close to his grandparents, after the quick stop we went to his grandparents for olive oil and wine tasting, and an awesome lesson on how to make a true Italian sandwich! His grandparents joined us for
The tasting and they were so welcoming and warm, they make you feel like you’re right at home with them. His Nonna had some amazing food for us to eat and made sure that we were well fed, it was so awesome spending time with him and his family! Francesco is truly an exceptional young man full of passion and knowledge for his craft, it was very inspiring and refreshing to spend the afternoon with him and learn so much about olives! I can’t wait to come back and visit again to see his progress, his grandparents, and to learn more! If you ever find yourself in Sicily you have to book a tour with him, you won’t regret it!

We just had our Extra Virgin Olive Oil shipped from Sicily to our home in the US. So incredibly easy and quick! This Oil is so good. Can't wait to share with our friends and family. Do not hesitate to contact them for help assembling the order. Great advice, and made the process easy.

Merci Francesco et merci à ta famille pour l’accueil !
Nous avons d’abord visité l’oliveraie familiale avec Francesco qui parle un français parfait !
Puis nous sommes allés chez ses grand-parents, dans leur cuisine typiquement sicilienne. Nous avons pu y déguster leur huile d’olive, leur vin cultivé sur la coline d’à côté, et des plats siciliens faits par sa grand mère qui se prête au jeu des questions avec Francesco comme traducteur 😍
Évidemment on repart des étoiles plein les yeux et de l’huile d’olive plein les placards 🫒
Merci mille fois

We enjoyed every single minute of the tour. The peaceful setting walking around the olive trees and listening to Francesco were a wonderful beginning. The tasting in the cousins kitchen felt like we were family, all Sicilian style! We asked Francesco to send us olive oil and wine because we needed to take this feeling home!

We toured their facility and loved the wine

The tour is a once in a lifetime experience! Francesco and his family are so warm and welcoming. From picking my little family and I up from our cruise port and driving us to his beautiful vineyard in Sicily, it was a bucket list experience. One of the most special memories from my trip is being invited to his grandmother’s home. Thank you again Francesco and family! We can’t wait to visit again!

Im Sommer in Sizilien an der Tasting-Tour teilgenommen ( absolut empfehlenswert), Öl als Mitbringsel verschenkt, jetzt die Nachbestellung. Unglaublich gutes Olivenöl, aber auch tolle Weine! Freue mich nicht allein auf mein Paket aus Italien, hier warten etliche Freunde mit Nachfüllfläschchen :-)

If you’re looking for an olive oil experience that goes beyond the bottle, this is it. This olive oil is an explosion on the tongue, with a hint of pepper that’s perfectly balanced by its soft, silky finish. When you take a tiny sip, it doesn’t even feel like drinking oil—it’s more like tasting liquid sunshine, fresh from the grove.

The tour to the olive grove was fantastic, an intimate experience with a small group. It all ended in the warmth of a grandmother’s kitchen, where we got a taste of tradition as rich as the oil itself.

Now, the box sits proudly on my kitchen counter, and it’s hard to resist taking a sip straight from the tap.

This tour is a must do on your visit to Sicily. Francesco is so passionate about his craft and we thoroughly enjoyed learning from him. It was the most perfect afternoon. Going back to his nonni's house was the best experience on my 2 week trip to Italy. Just book this experience and don't look back. You will not regret it!

Sehr geschmacksintensiv - man Schmeckt quasi die Leidenschaft die dahinter steckt

To explain how special today was is impossible. Francesco and his family provide a must do experience. We started off in the Olive grove where Francesco walked us through and let us know about the whole process in making Olive oil and showed us the trees. We then moved to the tasting which included the olive oil, balsamic vinegars, and wine that Essensily make. We also got to try Nonna’s caponata, sfincone, olives, tomatoes and other delicious local produce. It was great to meet everybody and really get a sense of Francesco’s passion for the industry. Do yourself a favour and book this tour.
