We press the finest estate-grown, 100% organic extra virgin olive oil in the world, exclusively from our farm in Sicily. When our founder, Steve Luczo, was young his grandmother Rose would tell him about the beautiful land in which she was born: Corleone, Sicily. She would dream about it as she worked in the hot summer heat of Louisiana, picking strawberries as a young child. He made a promise to
himself that one day he’d reconnect his family to this land where Rose and grandfather Cosimo were born. Forty-five years later he fulfilled this promise and purchased the small piece of land on which the original stone foundation of Grandma Rose’s house still stands. Over the last seven years, the farms at La Furtuna have grown to over 350 hectares. The estate now has over 12,000 olive trees, including the Biancolilla Centinara, an olive exclusive to La Furtuna Estate. Some of the trees are 500 to 1,500 years old.The land is also planted with heirloom Corleonese tomatoes, and a wide variety of herbs, fruit trees and other produce, with over 500 different flora and 50 medicinal wild herbs. The entire property is fed by pure spring drinking water, and 90% of the land is held in a biological preserve at the bases of Monti Barraù and Monti Castro, which carries Grandma Rose’s family name. Bona Furtuna’s underlying mission is to celebrate Sicily’s rich history and culture and give back to its land and people. Besides our stewardship and investment in the farm and these unique products, our commitment and promise is to give all excess profits to charities that share our support of Sicily and its people—as well as charities in the USA such as No Kid Hungry. Join us as we discover the magic of this property and share it for all to enjoy.
