Historic Olive Oil Mill of Chiaramonte Gulfi
Oleificio Guccione was born in 1966 in Chiaramonte Gulfi, a small baroque village in the heart of the Iblei Mountains, made famous over the years for the goodness of its oil, which Luigi Veronelli considered "the best on the island". The oil mill was founded in 1966 by our grandparents, initially as an oil mill serving olive growers in the area and always with a focus on quality and innovation. We were the first in the area, in 1990, to abandon the traditional press extraction system and to focus on continuous cycle processing. Today the company is led by the grandsons of the founders, Vito and Giuseppe Divita, two thirty-year-old brothers with the desire to produce, in a contemporary key, great oils that manage to express the potential of our territory.
Zahara is a monocultivar of Tonda Iblea, patrimony and variety queen of our territory. The olives are delicately picked by hand from secular trees of the Chiaramonte Gulfi valleys. The harvest takes place in the first half of September at a stage of maturation which allows the olive to best express all its perfumes and properties.

Pala oil is an oil obtained from a blend of Sicilian cultivars, in which the Nocellara del Belice prevails. The olives are harvested by hand as in the past, avoiding to damage and stress the fruit, which will be transformed into oil a few hours after the harvest.

Olio Pop is an oil obtained from a blend of Sicilian autochthonous cultivars, from the most representative ones such as Biancolilla and Nocellara, to others less known, such as Moresca and Carolea. The olives are harvested by hand in a period from mid-September to the second half of October, depending on the degree of ripeness of each cultivar.
