Ravida

In 1986 Nicolo Ravida returned to his roots after a successful career as an engineer working all over the world. Farming is my passion, it is in my blood he said, recalling his desire to come back to his homeland of Sicily to pursue high quality cultivation. A few years later his daughter Natalia, then a London-based press and TV journalist, saw an opening in the market for small-production, high quality artisan olive oil, and joined her father at La Gurra. 

At Ravida they follow a sustainable philosophy in order to preserve both the ecological and cultural heritage of their land. This is achieved both through the use of traditional production techniques used by their ancestors for centuries, and the use of sustainable technologies developed in order to best protect the ecosystem.
