The Company

Since 1894, Oleifici Barbera have produced their extra virgin olive oil in Custonaci, a small town near Trapani, in the beautiful island region of Sicilia. Barbera was the first company to package EVOO in glass beginning in 1898. They also were one of the first to use unfiltered olive oil. They refer to the production of their olive oil as packaging liquid gold.
