Mandranova is a farm located in the south of Sicily in the Palma di Montechiaro area (Agrigento). The farm develops over ca. 180 hectares, the main products are extra-virgin olive oil and almonds. Mandranova farm is run by family members Giuseppe and Silvia who, at the end of the nineties, decided to renovate the family farm with the goal of combining tradition and innovation. Mandranova produces extra-virgin olive oil from Sicilian native cultivar groves using integrated agriculture techniques and polyconic vase pruning. Harvest occurs from mid September to mid October employing a mix of mechanical and semi-mechanical harvest. The olives are processed in a proprietary mill through mechanical cold extraction. Mandranova produces both monocultivar and blend extra-virgin olive oils. In term of organoleptic characteristics, the oils tend to be medium to intense fruity, rich in polyphenols with green intense color.
