Olive Zeituna also known as Siracusana, the only olive that makes up this type of oil, is born from the typical olive of the area of Siracusa and can be found around the coast up to 400 meters above sea level.
It is thought that it is the cultivar that started the olive harvest in Sicily.
Due to the tree being majestic it is very difficult to pick olives with machinery therefore they are collect entirely manually.
