Co.Pr.O.S. – Cooperative of Sicilian Olive Producers

Co.Pr.O.S. is a consortium committed for years to supporting high-quality agricultural production, promoting territorial development through olive cultivation. In particular, in the province of Catania, olive growing represents a cultural and agricultural heritage of fundamental importance. Sicilian olive oil production has achieved significant success in national and international markets, earning prestigious recognitions, including those from the European Union, such as the DOP (Protected Designation of Origin) and IGP (Protected Geographical Indication) labels, which attest to its excellence and deep connection to the land.

Alongside the production of extra virgin olive oil, table olives are another important product from the olive tree. The processing of table olives, in its various preparations, is a well-established tradition in Sicily. Co.Pr.O.S. is constantly working to enhance and improve the quality of its members' table olives, aiming to achieve similar results to those obtained with olive oil.

In an increasingly competitive market, it is essential to meet the qualitative requirements demanded by consumers, through superior organoleptic characteristics and compliance with current regulations. Co.Pr.O.S. promotes ongoing research for improvement, encouraging the spread of knowledge within the olive-growing supply chain, with the goal of consolidating the achievements made and facing new future challenges.

We have operated in the olive sector with the goal of improving the quality of oil and table olives while always considering environmental impact. We have qualified technical assistance to olive-growing businesses, enhancing the territorial heritage of Sicily, which boasts numerous quality recognitions, such as the IGP Olive Oil of Sicily and six DOPs. These recognitions testify to the quality and excellence of extra virgin olive oil produced in our region.

Olive oil, obtained by pressing the fruit of the olive tree, represents a millenary tradition that retains all its simplicity and naturalness. This makes Sicilian olive oil a unique product that enhances the flavors of healthy, traditional cooking.

Co.Pr.O.S. is also committed to promoting olive cultivation techniques, assisting in the transformation of olives into oil, and disseminating best agricultural practices. Through educational programs, including courses for olive oil tasters, we aim to accelerate consumer awareness regarding the organoleptic characteristics of oil and raise awareness about its use in cooking.

Additionally, we offer personalized services for olive growers, supporting them in monitoring their crops and improving cultivation conditions and the environment. Our commitment remains to guarantee the quality of the product, its health benefits, and income for olive-growing businesses, contributing to the ongoing development of the Sicilian olive oil industry.
