In the territory of Bronte, on the slopes of Mount Etna, Francesco Costa in the 1950s, together with his father Nicola, ran a prosperous agricultural business mainly focused on cultivating olive trees. In 1969, with the help of his wife, he built his first olive mill, starting in a small room where he installed traditional olive oil equipment: the presses. The company was solely specialized in milling olives on behalf of producers. In 2007, after years of intense research, Sofia D.O.P. MONTE ETNA oil, the company's flagship product, was launched. The message strongly desired by the Francesco Costa olive mill is aimed at informing consumers, enabling them to have all the tools at their disposal to make an informed choice. The product label represents the ideal showcase and a window onto the production chain. In particular, increasing attention is paid to the product's origin: from the country of origin of the olives to the specific place of milling and bottling.
