Proprietá Mantineo

Organic farming is the most consequent form of sustainable farming

“Proprietá Mantineo” is a small orchard of 2 hectares located in Santa Venera di Mascali on the Etna right in front of the Ionian Sea.

Agriculture in this area has been neglected due to the strong pressure of cost reduction for mass market production.

…… a simple and traditional approach makes the difference

… a delight for the eye and the palate

Unfortunately, mass production focus only on cost, quantity and shape. We used to appreciate the taste before anything else.

Removing the intermediate layer in the distribution is the only way to recover the cost without increasing the price for the final consumer.

No middleman. Directly from the field to the table.

The taste of the “clementine” we produce is the measure of our success.

Production maximization is not our goal.

Oranges are the fruit of the “garden of Hesperides” stolen from Hercules (Heracles) during one of his famous 12 Labours.

The view of the landscape with trees full of golden globes, in clear winter morning, is amazing.
