In the Monti Iblei area, between sunny hills and landscapes shaped by time, the olive tree is not just a crop, it is history, deep roots and a bond with the land. It is in this setting, among the hills of the Iblean plateau, that the history of the Azienda Rollo takes shape.

In 1968, Giovanni Rollo purchased a plot of land in the countryside of Chiaramonte Gulfi, a place that has always been known for the production of fine olive oils. The property had 300 olive trees and 9,000 vines: a small agricultural universe nestled in a hilly landscape located between 320 and 370 metres above sea level, where altitude, exposure and temperature variations give the olives their unique characteristics.

For twenty years, the company consolidated its position, strengthening its ties with the land. Later, his son Giorgio, driven by a deep passion, took up the mantle, determined to carry on the family vision. With a courageous and forward-thinking decision, he decided to uproot the vineyard and devote all his energy to olive growing. This decision shaped the identity of the company, focusing everything on quality, olive trees and oil.

Today, the Azienda Rollo covers 21 hectares of olive groves and has over 2,500 trees, with an average annual production of around 100 hectolitres. The olive groves are composed of the “Tonda Iblea” variety, an authentic expression of the Iblean territory, cultivated mainly in an extensive manner. The trees are pruned into an “umbrella” shape, a traditional form that promotes aeration and proper exposure to light, respecting the natural balance of the plant.

Harvesting is carried out manually, with care and attention given to each olive. Within 12 hours, the fruits are cold-pressed in continuous cycle plants, preserving their aromas, fragrances and organoleptic properties. Each stage strictly follows the Monti Iblei PDO regulations, a guarantee of authenticity and deep connection with the territory.

The Azienda Rollo is a family story, but above all a story of passion, a story of choices, respect for nature and daily dedication. A story that continues, season after season, with its roots in the heart of Sicily.
