Olives

The "Sicilian

Continent"

Olive oil, the
storyteller
of history
and territory

Wine on its own is not enough to truly share the essence of

Sicily and the unqiueness of each Tasca estate. Since Greek

times in Sicily, oil has been, together with wine, a

fascinating storyteller of history and territory.

In historic times,

farmers first planted

olive trees as a symbol

of nourishment, and

then planted vines.

Tasca began studying

the typical varieties in

Sicily in hopes to share

the story of olive oil far

and wide.

The mission to narrate the “Sicilian continent”

continues. The 2022 harvest represents the

beginning of a project to highlight the diverse

territories through extra virgin olive oil. After

the oils from Regaleali and Mozia came the oil

from the slopes of Etna, produced at

Tascante. Then came Sallier de La Tour with

the typical characteristics of the soil of the

Jato Valley, and lastly the oil of Tenuta

Capofaro, on Salina, an island with a “tropical”

climate but volcanic soils.

All are oils are the expression of a unique

territory, taken care of by Tasca d’Almerita

men and women.
