Oils Planeta
For generations, the Planeta family has been engaged in different farming activities, originally in the Sambuca di Sicilia and Menfi areas in the Agrigento province, but today even in different parts of South-Eastern Sicily. Along with their wine, star of the Planeta family’s work and life since 1985, oil is currently also a part of their core business. The farm is located on top of a large hill that leans out towards the sea, once wholly covered by Mediterranean maquis and wheat. The side that looks out onto the sea has remained untouched, and is a beautiful natural spot, while the rest of the hill has been turned into 80 hectares of olive groves where, in 2003, a modern oil mill was also built. The whole productive cycle is handled within the farm. Since 2006, their oil has become PDO Val di Mazara.
