The world of extra virgin olive oil is facing a quiet crisis. The global demand for genuine, high-quality EVOO is at odds with a market saturated with fraudulent, low-quality blends. In Sicily, this problem is compounded by an aging farming population and a legacy of abandoned olive groves, threatening to erase a culinary tradition thousands of years old.

Castruriali was founded as the solution to this problem. We are a regenerative project dedicated to revitalising Sicily's land and heritage. Our mission is to restore abandoned, centuries-old olive groves, bringing life back to the land and economic vitality to local villages. The purchase of every bottle directly contributes to this mission, allowing us to cultivate these ancient trees and produce a product of unparalleled quality.

Our oil is the embodiment of a perfect blend of tradition and technology. It is made under the expert guidance of Antonio Mandanici, a master with over six decades of experience in olive oil production. He personally hand-bottles and quality-checks each batch, ensuring our standards are met in every drop. We utilise the latest Peirilisi technology to cold-press our olives within hours of harvest, a modern process that preserves the maximum levels of polyphenols and antioxidants—the key compounds responsible for EVOO's profound health benefits.

But our commitment to transparency doesn't stop there. Each bottle features QR code technology that offers full traceability, allowing you to trace the oil from our groves, nourished by Sicily's unique volcanic soil, all the way to its nutritional profile.

The result is a product that is not only packed with health benefits but also delivers a truly unique flavour profile. From buttery and mild notes to hints of green apple, artichoke and a peppery finish, Castruriali’s EVOO is a testament to the purity of its origins and the dedication of its makers. By choosing Castruriali, you are choosing to preserve a legacy, support a community and experience the true, authentic taste of Sicily.
