Olio di Mino Our
History

For about a century we have been following our greatest passion: cultivating the family olive groves. The baton has been passed from father to son for three generations and today we produce a high quality extra virgin olive oil, while maintaining the values of the tradition.

Everything originates from the olive groves in Contrada Scintilia about twenty kilometers from the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento (Sicily). At the beginning, the production was reserved for the consumption of family and friends, while from 2020 our oil has become a high quality product, recognized and awarded nationally and internationally.

Today Di Mino oil is ready to reach tables all over the world.

Oil

The careful selection of the olives, the cold pressing within a few hours of harvesting and the correct conservation, guarantee three varieties of oil in single cultivars (Nocellara del Belice, Biancolilla and Coratina) and a blended obtained instead from Nocellara del Belice olives mixed with Biancolilla olives and small amounts of other rare cultivars.

Our olive groves are grown in a natural way, without any use of chemicals and respecting the biodiversity and the morphological characteristics of the land. This particular attention has led our oil to obtain quality certifications as a BIO and IGP product.

Olio di Mino Our
Quality

With a unique taste and aroma, our oil is healthy and genuine, able to enhance the flavours of all dishes in all their nuances.

Our oil is characterized by very low values of peroxides, acidity close to zero and high content of polyphenols, characteristics that guarantee excellent nutritional qualities with positive health effects.

In particular, the high content of polyphenols, which gives our oil bitter notes, contributes to the prevention of some diseases, counteracting the action of harmful free radicals and preventing the oxidation of fatty acids.
