A small company born in Capo d’Orlando, in a prosperous and colorful area in the province of Messina, Terravostra produces and sells organic EVO oil. The origins of this high quality oil reach back to several years ago, when Antonino made the decision to exploit his own land to produce a fine EVO oil for private consumption, keeping his family’s traditions.

Terravostra endorsed this willingness and Angelo Morabito – Antonino’s son-in-law – decided to look after the cure and cultivation of the land, not only to preserve traditions but mostly to promote the true essence of Sicilian tastes over the island’s borders. In order to do this, Angelo chose a very special oil born on the hills of Nebrodi Mounts, working with passion and devotion.

The main wish of the company is to revaluate its place of origin by spreading the knowledge of Sicily’s social, cultural, food and agricultural qualities. As a consequence, one of the purposes of Terravostra is to enhance the autochthonous cultivars “Minuta Nasitana” and “Verdello”, which are particularly precious and appreciated since ancient times for their low level of acidity, their high percentage of polyphenols and their fragrance.

Terravostra also means social project. Its aim is to boost and support existing agricultural holdings by commercializing their own EVO oils. This project includes also another purpose: in fact, one of the most important points for Terravostra is to restore fallow lands, generating new value for Sicilian resources and job opportunities.
