Our family has been based here for three generations. It all began with our grandfather Alfonso who was an experienced oil merchant and whose dream was to plant his own olive groves. The dream became reality in 1960 when he acquired the first hectares of this land and planted the first olive trees. Since Don Fofò departure, the land has been cultivated by his older son Salvatore, who’s heart always belonged to this magical place right from his childhood. In 2010 Salvatore decided to extend the property to its current size and together with his wife Daniela launched the “Oikos Project”, a beautiful Relais surrounded by the olive grove: a place that cannot be just visited, it has to be experienced. The passion for the land was passed on to the next generation of Milioto’s Family. Salvatore’s first-born Federica, who studied law abroad and worked for an international law firm, experienced the same attachment to this place. So she decided to get back to her hometown to get involved in the olive oil business and found Terre di Zaccanello. Today apart from being a lawyer she is an Oil Sommelier and with passion and commitment manages the company with the support of the whole family.

Terre di Zaccanello is not just a place, but rather a voyage into a wonderful rural Sicily where to enjoy traditional flavours and experience the charm of the Sicilian landscape. It is a place where nature and people give each other the most precious thing -harmonious symbiosis.

Surrounded by 10 hectares of olive trees and centuries old nature, the Relais is located 15 min by car from the outstanding Valley of the Temples archaeological park UNESCO heritage site and 25 min away from the beautiful Turkish Steps. The nearest town is Racalmuto, a delightful little village rich in history and traditions, birthplace of the writer Leonardo Sciascia, immerse in the purest Sicilian countryside.
