Olio Carbonìa is a family-run farm led by women, located in Aragona (AG), on a hilly area at 457 meters above sea level, characterized by a variable climate and a fragile socio-economic context marked by land abandonment and fragmentation. Managed according to the principles of organic and agroecological farming, the company combines tradition and innovation, enhancing the territory and the Sicilian olive-growing culture.

Active since the mid-1800s, it originated as a pastoral and cereal farm; from the 1980s, thanks to the current owner’s mother, it shifted toward high-quality olive growing with the Biancolilla and Coratina cultivars, later joined by Cerasuola, Nocellara del Belice, and Giarraffa. Today, it manages 9 hectares of IGP Sicilia olive groves, produces five monovarietal olive oils, and completes the entire supply chain in-house, ensuring quality through early harvesting, same-day milling, filtration, and nitrogen storage.

Farming practices include mechanical weeding, green manuring, mulching, organic fertilization with mycorrhizae, and no-till seeding; water management involves subsurface irrigation, rainwater harvesting, and supplementary irrigation. The farm promotes biodiversity through an agroforestry system integrating native olive trees, Sicilian fruit species, nitrogen-fixing plants, as well as hedgerows and microhabitats.

The company has developed an agritourism facility that supports local employment, social inclusion, and territorial promotion through cultural activities and olive oil tourism. It produces renewable energy through an agrivoltaic system and aims to expand agroforestry, create a geological trail, and establish an almond museum.

Olio Carbonìa promotes sustainability and legality at the local level by disseminating sustainable production practices typical of the adopted agroecological model and, through its membership in the Addiopizzo association, by upholding the principles of legality and contributing to the socio-economic and employment revitalization of the area.
