Azienda Agricola Ponte Piana dei Fratelli Gafà

At the foot of Chiaramonte Gulfi, within the Monti Iblei, Azienda Agricola Ponte Piana cultivates Tonda iblea, the cultivar that gives this part of Ragusa its distinctive oil. The Gafà family has managed these olive groves since 1800 and harvests by hand, a choice that protects both the fruit and the tree, and which precedes processing by just a few hours. The continuous-cycle mill transforms the variety into an extra virgin olive oil with the Monti Iblei DOP denomination, boasting a clear profile: medium-intense fruitiness, with that characteristic green tomato note that marks the best Iblean oils. A single denomination, yet worked with the precision of those who know every parcel of the olive grove and can interpret its vintages. It is a territorial oil in the strictest sense, where cultivar, altitude, and the farmer's hand remain united in a single gesture. Those ascending to Chiaramonte Gulfi can stop at the farm for a guided tasting and sample the oil where it is born, alongside the trees that produce it.
