Corleone - Known the World Over, Understood by Few
Corleone is nestled among the rolling hills and mountains south of Palermo in western Sicily, where altitude, mineral-rich soils and intense Mediterranean sunshine combine to create exceptional conditions for olive cultivation.
The name is recognised throughout the world, though often for reasons far removed from the reality of life there. To those who know the land and its people, Corleone is something altogether different: a proud agricultural community, shaped by generations of farming, tradition and family life.
Olives have been cultivated in this region since antiquity. Today, the combination of the region’s altitude, mineral-rich volcanic soils, mountain air and intense Sicilian sunshine creates a unique growing environment. The result is a landscape capable of producing olive oil of vibrant flavour, distinctive character and remarkable quality.
Three Heritage Olives. One Distinctive Oil.
Nocellara del Belice – One of Sicily’s most celebrated olive varieties. Producing large, fleshy olives with a fruity profile, gentle bitterness and long finish, it forms the backbone of Corleone Gold.
Biancolilla – A delicate Sicilian variety that contributes freshness, balance and elegance, with subtle grassy notes and a natural sweetness that complements the Nocellara’s intensity.
Frantoio – A Tuscan variety long established in Sicily, adding complexity, structure and a distinctive peppery finish, while contributing to Corleone Gold’s high levels of naturally occurring antioxidants.
