Oleastro Enterprises Ltd was established in 2003 with the vision to promote the civilization of the olive tree in an environmentally friendly way. Its mission is its uncompromising commitment to top quality olive oil, innovation, diversification, and flexibility.

The educational and recreational Olive Park Oleastro features outdoor themes on the olive tree that has healed and nourished Cypriots for thousands of years. Indoors, it consists of a state-of-the-art ecological olive mill with mill stones, a museum, a restaurant, a store, specializing in olive products, a video room, bottling, and storing facilities.

Oleastro Enterprises Ltd. is the brainchild of Andreas and Lina Ellinas with the support of their children Daniel and Natalie.  Our friends call us ‘romantic fools’ for our love and devotion to the olive tree, the Mediterranean diet, and the island’s countryside that we consider the ‘heart’ of authentic Cyprus.

Organic olive oil Oleastro is the only olive oil in Cyprus that…

• is under the control of one company at all stages (production, extraction, storing, bottling). It is produced in our own olive groves with love and care for this blessed tree. The extraction process takes place on the same day, the only way to ensure high olive oil quality.
• is organic (certified by LACON), extra virgin, cold pressed with millstones, the only way to preserve its polyphenols, its nutritional, and organoleptic (flavor, aroma, color) properties unchanged.
• is extracted strictly from ‘koroneiki’ olives, for a mild and fruity flavor
• is stored directly into our own stainless steel reservoirs and bottled in our facilities. Thus, the olive oil is spared unnecessary transport that has a negative impact on the quality.
• comes in a large presentation variety. We take pride in being the first company to have upgraded Cyprus’ olive oil from a mere cooking ingredient to an elegant gift idea.
• is frequently selected as a representative gift of authentic Cyprus (e.g. by the Cyprus Tourism Organization, travel agents, and private companies).
• is exported to Germany, Switzerland, China, Armenia, France, USA, and Japan.

The farm. “Terre sul Dirillo Società Agricola” was founded in 2011 by two young Hyblaen entrepreneurs who decided to work on two quality factors: the territory and the agricultural production. “Terre sul Dirillo” was created to give continuity to the family’s business tradition, which was started by the paternal great-grandfather Carmelo Ravalli who had bought, between 1934 and 1947, several lots of land. “Terre sul Dirillo” owns almost 4.000 olive trees both centuries-old and newly planted with the European certificate “organic farming”.

Organic production. The Extra Virgin Olive Oil “Fior di Olive” is characterized by an intense smell of fruit with a marked aroma of artichoke, oregano and green tomato. After having delicately tickled the palate with its gentle taste of artichoke, it releases a slightly bitter and discretely spicy taste which gradually grows long and balanced with a hint of bitter September almond.

For generations the Cutrera family has been dedicating to the cultivation of olive trees and olive oil production, a profession carried on for decades with the passion and the love that binds this family to its land. The company's origins date back more than a century ago, records show that in 1906, the family Cutrera was dedicated to the cultivation and care of olive trees in Chiaramonte Gulfi, a small town in the south-eastern area of Sicily.

Giovanni Cutrera, the head of the family, founded the first mill in 1979, with the help of his wife Mary, after having grown up working in an old mill with millstones in which it was using the help of mules and presses.

Over the years the Giovanni’s children, Maria - the eldest, followed by Giusy, the second, and finally Salvatore, the youngest - have joined dad in his farm. In 1999, an important year for the fate of Frantoi Cutrera, Giovanni, with the thrust of the entire family, decided to open a second mill. But it wasn’t enough! The whole family and local producers were aware of the quality of the olive oil produced in the Iblei Mountains, then they decided to find a way to market it beyond the local market. It was a bet that the present results prove to be won.

Since 2000, the Frantoi Cutrera is handled by three children, Maria, Giusy and Salvatore with their spouses and currently the third generation is starting to join the management company. Looking ahead, never forgetting the past, a good mix between tradition and innovation, this is the mission that now distinguishes the family.

Even if the company's management is in the hands of three children, Giovanni and Maria have left a valuable legacy made up of principles, values and knowledge that the farm's members put into practice in every daily action.

The Frantoi Cutrera currently has two plants with three extraction lines, a warehouse for the storage of oil and a bottling plant, manages 50 hectares of olive groves in the Iblei mountains area and export the precious olive oil in more than 42 countries worldwide. Recently, the family Cutrera has added a new branch to the production of olive oil,  a  gourmet laboratory where it is prepared a new selection of products, preserves, jams, and typical Sicilian recipes.

Carrying on a family tradition that prizes land, culture and art, in the 90s Antonio and Lucia Ficara bought Tenuta CAVASECCA: an inestimable arboreal heritage of 50 hectares. With their four children - Paolo, Silvia, Dario and Francesco - they start a business based on the ancient canons of beauty peasant and oriented to quality, creativity and style.
The love for this type of cultivation and the desire to produce a P.D.O. organic olive oil, led the family to integrate the centuries old existing Siracusana, Nocellara, Biancolilla and Oglialora (Verdesa) trees, with thousands of Tonda Iblea trees. At present, the organic and P.D.O.olive tree grove covers an area of 25 hectares, grown in the shape of lowered umbrella and spaced 6 metres apart.

Nowadays Dario, after his brilliant economics studies at Bocconi University in Milan and several professional experiences abroad, took the reins of the company with the same energy and passion of his parents.

CULTIVAR
Tenuta CAVASECCA is situated at an altitude of 300 meters above sea level. Tonda Iblea variety accounts for 65% of the cultivated surface, while the remaining 35% consists of the cultivars Siracusana (Zaituna), Biancolilla, Nocellara and Oglialora (Verdesa). The organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil D.O.P. CAVASECCA is obtained solely from olives grown on the estate, in full compliance with methods provided by the organic farming system. The Protected Designation of Origin guarantees the validity of the declared origin, of production rules observation and of the nutritional and organoleptic qualities. P.D.O. is not simply an acronym, it is a VALUE.
