| Harvesting method | Hand-harvesting directly from the tree (manual grazing) of olives grown on terraced volcanic soils, with pruning of low branches toward the ground to expose the least leaf area to the winds. |
| Methods of extraction | milling immediately after harvesting, using a cold, continuous-cycle extraction system, which carries out the gramolatura stage (mixing of the olive paste useful for separating the oil) in a controlled atmosphere, allowing the aromatic components to be best preserved. |

| Art and oil | Millennia old is the cultivation of olive trees. In the picturesque landscape, twisted trunks centuries old and still productive stand among young olive trees. Here the oil is born Donnafugata, among timeless scents and fragrances, while the wind plays in the foliage of one of the many female figures designed by the company. A woman-olive tree, a symbol of serenity and well-being. |
