Our story

Sità olive oil’s story has a very typical Italian flavour. It is a story that begins in Agnana Calabra, in the heart of Calabria, in a small traditional oil mill. Today our oils reach tables around the world bringing with them an uninterrupted tradition filled with passion, quality and family.

The company is guided by the entrepreneurial experience of the Sità family. Experience that exceeds 100 years, and that has carried on through four generations. We are committed to selecting the highest qualities of olives and to produce the best oils while maintaining traditional integrity. Sità has become one of the leading companies in the olive oil market, establishing itself around the world thanks to its attention to quality, R&D and investment in technological innovations.

Ours is a family passion that has translated into the success of a company that has not only found a way to adapt to the needs of changing times, but also to ongoing market trends.

From tables all around the world, Sità olive oil, with its distinct flavour, tells a daily account of a journey filled with passion and quality.

 

Our Values

The Sità corporate culture is based on taste. Enhancing the taste means to identify, every year, the areas that will yield high quality olives, and where the ideal climatic conditions result in the production of our high quality extra virgin oil with a common denominator: low acidity, freshness, genuineness and flavour.

These particular conditions make oils that are produced on the Mediterranean area extremely high in quality. The gentle climate and the generous sunlight allow Sità Oil to maintain its promise of great flavour, that is fresh and consistent over time.

The art of selection

The secret of Sita’s quality lies within the selection process of the olives. To select means that only the best olives are hand-picked, and pressed immediately afterwards. To select means choosing only the best oil mills that follow traditional Italian methods of olive oil production. To select means choosing the best suppliers that guarantee and certify the reference values in terms of ethics, morality, transparency and professionalism.

From the first phase of selecting only the finest oils, until all quality controls are completed, Sita’s laboratory utilizes the most advanced technology available. A technological leadership that translates into a potential production capacity of 60 million bottles per year.
