In the Nebrodi Mountains above Capo d'Orlando — where our family is from — ancient Minuta olive trees grow semi-wild among the slopes of Oliveto Letizia.
Unhurried, enduring. Shaped by altitude, season and time.
This is the tree at the heart of LONGIORO.
An Australian family business, rooted in a Sicilian grove.
From this one remarkable place come three expressions of the estate:
Oil · Skin · Leaf
Oil
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Cold-extracted from hundred-year-old Minuta, Verdello, and Biancolilla trees at Oliveto Letizia — bordering the Parco dei Nebrodi, Sicily. Minuta is a Slow Food Presidium variety, recognised as endangered and of outstanding gastronomic value. Extracted at the mill within six hours of picking, unfiltered, and left to settle naturally. The oil retains its full polyphenol load and the alive, grassy intensity of genuinely early-harvest EVOO. 500 numbered bottles, each XRPL verified. 250 ml. Available April 2027. $75 AUD.
Skin
Minuta Facial Oil
Cold-extracted from semi-wild Minuta trees at Oliveto Letizia — trees unhurried by altitude and season, growing as they have for generations. 100% Minuta oil. Waterless. Rich in polyphenols, finely filtered to clarity, and applied directly to the skin's lipid matrix. Most skincare begins with water. Ours begins with the oil. XRPL verified proof of source. 30 ml. Mother's Day Launch · 9 May 2027. $125 AUD.
Leaf
Nebrodi Mountain Tea
Minuta olive leaf, nepitella, mallow, wild fennel, and rosemary — gathered from the slopes of Oliveto Letizia and blended by hand. Caffeine-free. Nepitella is a wild Sicilian mint found only in the mountains. Olive leaf, rich in oleuropein, has been used in Mediterranean wellness traditions for centuries. Together, a composition that could only come from this place. 100 g. No additives. XRPL verified. August 2027 Launch · $35 AUD.
Return to the Mountain
Over a hundred years ago, our grandfather, Ignazio Letizia, left the Nebrodi Mountains and sailed for Australia. Three generations later, we returned — to the same mountains above Capo d'Orlando, where we found a semi-wild grove of 800 ancient Minuta trees and a lemon orchard. Not the original farm. But the same land, the same air, the same soil. Restoration of the groves and casale at Oliveto Letizia starts in 2027. From this grove, and only this grove, comes everything we make. The Oil. The Skin. The Leaf. Each one botanical. Each one from this single place.
Oliveto Letizia
Nebrodi Mountains, Sicily
High in the Nebrodi Mountains of northern Sicily, ancient olive groves grow among beech forests, wild herbs and quiet mountain villages. This is one of Sicily's last wild places - a landscape of lakes, stone borghi and hilltop villages, century-old trees. Our family grove, Oliveto Letizia, is semi wild, its buildings in ruin, stone terraces reclaimed by roots. Ancient olive trees, unpruned, unhurried. We returned to restore — slowly, by hand, season by season.
