Additional Information

Our enterprise serves as a homage to our land, and each item we craft narrates our passionate affair with Sicily. Harnessing the power of virtual reality, we aim to make a seasonal process - harvesting olives and their mill extraction - a first-person experience accessible to all. Indeed, you’ll find yourself ambling among our olive groves as our team gathers the produce, before heading to the mill to witness the striking transformation of olives into oil up close.

Subsequently, you’ll be included in the making of our traditionally inspired soap, utilizing olive oil as the key ingredient for the saponification process. You’ll be engaged during every step, and together we’ll revive a long-held custom that few remember or possess the skills to execute today, in this fast-paced modern world.
