About the producer:

Ruta is a family. The activity is built on tradition, renewed from father to son, since 1953. Tradition towards innovation and research of the cultural development of the territory.

The founder, Francesco Ruta (Don Ciccio) built the first oil mill with grindstones and hydraulic presses. Today, his son Giorgio and his wife Anna Valeria, and their children, carry on the business with the same passion. Each step is the result of careful craftmanship, respecting nature and traditions. 

Founded in the 50s, in Castelluccio (Sicily), olive oil is produced in small quantities, from cold extraction performed within the first 6-8 hours after oilve collection. This is the way to achieve the highest organoleptic quality even at the cost of losing large quantity of the product. The varieties of olives harvested and pressed are: Moresca, Verdese, Tonda Iblea, Biancolilla and Nocellara del Belice.
