How Our IGP Certified Olive Oil is Processed...

Every bottle of Zagarello Olive Oil begins on the Accardo family farm in Partanna, Sicily, where our Nocellara olives are hand-picked at peak ripeness. Within 24 hours, they are delivered to the mill to preserve their freshness, flavor, and natural health benefits. There, the olives are carefully pressed into rich, golden oil and labeled with the Accardo family name — a mark of authenticity and pride.

To guarantee purity and origin, we partner with M.A.S.A.F., the Italian Ministry of Agriculture. Their inspectors visit our mill, collect samples, and conduct detailed analyses in their Palermo laboratory. Once approved, the government issues a precise number of IGP labels, each with a unique serial number that is fully traceable. Italy takes its olive oil seriously — and so do we.

We bottle only the exact quantity authorized by the certification, ensuring that every container carrying the IGP seal is genuine. Achieving this certification requires time, investment, and dedication, but for us, it is the only way to deliver olive oil of uncompromising quality.

When you choose Zagarello Olive Oil, you’re choosing an IGP-certified product rooted in family tradition, Sicilian soil, and a relentless commitment to excellence. From our family to yours, this is olive oil the way it is meant to be enjoyed.
