The award-winning EVOO: Nocellara olive variety.
The company’s favourite slogan is: “The EVOO, a choice that changes your life”.
We are on the hills of Palma di Montechiaro (Agrigento), home to Mandranova Azienda Agricola e Resort, founded in 1986, although it was not until 1999 that the awards received by the Nocellara monocultivar made it easier to make one of those choices that “change your life”.
Today, the agricultural part of the company covers 180 hectares, 50 of which are used for the cultivation of approximately 12,000 olive trees, centuries-old and the company’s young heritage.
The family estate, now celebrating its fifth generation, produces the EVOO, almonds, citrus marmalades, jams and pistachio cream. Last but not least, the hospitality business, authentic and simple, inside an ancient farmhouse and in a small train station, today skilfully restored.
Among the many international awards received by the Di Vincenzo family, the Best of Italy 2023 in the EVO IOOC Italy stands out for its prestige, a category in which it is the reigning champion, in addition to being the best Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil to beat in the year 2024. Company profile
