Amodeo’s Farm
A family olive oil producer in Sicily, rebuilt with conviction after the 1968 earthquake and sustained across three generations despite decades of emigration.
At a glance
Amodeo’s Farm is an olive oil producer in Montevago, western Sicily, rooted in the Amodeo family’s agricultural tradition. The estate represents a commitment to regional viticulture and olive cultivation that survived the devastating 1968 earthquake and the family’s long period abroad.
History
The farm emerged from three generations of the Amodeo family’s passion for growing olives. Following the 1968 earthquake, the family chose agricultural reinvestment and diversification into wine production as the path forward. Despite emigrating to the United States for over fifty years, they maintained absolute conviction in the farm’s continuation and restoration, eventually returning to sustain the enterprise.
