Who we are

Tondo is a small family business, which makes the authenticity and excellence of its products its main objective.
We cultivate centenary olive trees with respect and love, owned since 1700, preserving their integrity and well-being, producing high quality and healthy extra virgin olive oil.

WHERE WE ARE? ➜

The Olive Groves

The olive trees grow on the different slopes of the small Sant'Andrea valley, in Buccheri, Sicily , at an altitude ranging from 500 to 600 meters above sea level, on calcareous-clayey soils with a volcanic base.
The olive trees are mostly centenary, with an estimated age of up to 300 years or more.

ORGANIC-REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE ➜

Our Olives

The cultivar (i.e. the type of olive) is the Tonda Iblea , a prized native variety of the Iblei Mountains, which finds its ideal environment and maximum expression here. Tonda Ibaea has always been used both for the production of table olives and extra virgin olive oil.

THE HYBLEAN TONDA ➜

Nature in the Round

The name Tondo evokes that of the cultivar of our Extra Virgin Olive Oil, the Tonda Iblea , but also recalls the organoleptic characteristics of the oil: balanced, "round" in flavors and versatile.


the name Tondo also wants to underline the circularity of natural cycles, which we conserve and stimulate in our olive groves with the use of organic-regenerative agriculture.

Thanks to the cultivation, harvesting and production methods, the Tondo Extra Virgin Olive Oil has very low acidity values ​​and high polyphenols, which are natural antioxidants capable of neutralizing free radicals and fighting the aggression of bacteria: from this they derive proven beneficial effects on the health of individuals.
