About Us
As a family-owned business, we understand the importance of quality and authenticity in the products we offer. Our commitment to providing high-quality olive oil is rooted in our passion for healthy living and our deep appreciation for the rich culinary traditions of Italy.
Where It All Began
For nearly 100 years, the Accardo family has proudly produced and delivered pure, cold-pressed olive oil worldwide. Originating in the Valley of Belice in Partanna, Sicily, our journey began in 1927, and ever since, we’ve upheld a loyal commitment to excellence that has become synonymous with the Zagarello name.
What sets us apart is not just the quality of our olive oil, but our family’s commitment to delivering a product free from mixing or dilution. We take pride in the genuine ‘from press to plate’ experience that accompanies every bottle of Zagarello.
As the Accardo family continues to nurture this tradition, we invite you to savor the pure essence of our olive oil, a testament to nearly a century of expertise and devotion.
"Where there is family, there is love."
We’re dedicated to sharing the love and passion that goes into every bottle of our product. We believe that healthy, flavorful food has the power to bring people together & unite us despite our differences. We welcome you to join the Zagarello family and experience a love like no other!
IGP Certified
Our olive oil is proudly IGP (Indicazione Geografica Protetta) certified.
This certification ensures that our olive oil is produced in a specific geographical area (Partanna, Sicily) using traditional methods that have been perfected over centuries. It also guarantees that our oil meets strict quality standards and is free from any additives or artificial flavors.
Our IGP certification offers a guarantee of excellence that you can trust. It is a symbol of our commitment to producing the finest quality olive oil, using traditional methods that have been passed down through generations.
DOP Certification
DOP (Denominazione di Origine Protetta) certification is a quality assurance label used primarily for agricultural products, with a focus on traditional and regional methods of production. DOP certified olive oil signifies that the product originates from a specific geographical area, adheres to strict production regulations, and possesses unique characteristics associated with that particular region. This certification aims to protect the authenticity and integrity of traditional food products, promoting consumer confidence and ensuring fair competition among producers.
When seeking olive oil, understanding the difference between IGP (Indicazione Geografica Protetta) and DOP certifications becomes crucial. IGP identifies a product associated with a specific geographical area but may allow for more flexibility in production methods compared to DOP. DOP, on the other hand, imposes more stringent regulations, emphasizing the link between the product and its geographic origin.
Both IGP and DOP certifications offer consumers assurance regarding the authenticity of the product, its origin, and adherence to traditional production practices. By selecting oils with these certifications, you can trust that you are getting a genuine and high-quality product, supporting local producers and preserving the unique flavors and characteristics associated with specific olive oil regions. Additionally, these certifications contribute to the sustainability of traditional farming practices and protect consumers from misleading or fraudulent labeling in the market.
