OUR PLACES
We have transformed a humble abode into a cozy family-run business. What was once the home of my grandparents today is a symbol of their toil, their love for the land, half the company and the other half our refuge. Every stone, every wooden beam whispers the stories of those who preceded us. Every step I take in these places brings back the fondest memories of my childhood, when, as a child, I ran among these trees, with my hands dirty with earth and a light heart, while my grandparents worked tirelessly. It's like still smelling the intense smell of freshly picked olives that soaked the air, mixing with the scent of wet earth and the warmth of the late autumn sun. Today, that same smell envelops me every time I enter our oil mill, where our family's dream comes to life.
The oil mill is the heart of Tenuta Versaci. Here, the oil production process follows the slow, tradition-friendly pace. The olives, harvested by hand with care and with the use of facilitators, in compliance with handed down artisan techniques, are immediately taken to the oil mill, where their transformation into oil takes place by exploiting mechanical innovation. The sound of moving millstones, the scent of freshly extracted oil, the intense green color that makes its way into your hands: every moment contains the magic of ancient knowledge.
Inside the oil mill, the milling laboratory, the bottling laboratory and the oil and canning depots complete the picture of this reality in which everything moves with passion and dedication, between cleanliness and order. Every filled bottle tells a story, every jar of preserves contains the authentic flavor of our land, worked with love, without compromises.
Tenuta Versaci is a place that is not told only with words, but is lived with the senses, breathed in the air, savored in its products. A place where past and future intertwine, where the earth and the heart beat in unison, where every production is memory, tradition and love.
