About Oleificio Costa Gaetano

The History of Oleificio Costa is a story of family passion that is handed down from father to son. It began in the 1950s when Nicola Costa and his son Francesco managed a thriving farm whose main production was olive trees. In 1969 Francesco decided to expand the supply chain by inaugurating his first oil mill. In 1989, his son Gaetano took over the company, who with great passion and enthusiasm helped his father in the business. Gaetano's vision leads Oleificio Costa to become a successful commercial brand and a point of reference for many consumers and lovers of extra virgin olive oil. In 2007, Oleificio Francesco Costa di Bronte obtained its first D.O.P. with the “Sofia D.o.p. Monte Etna” brand. In 2014, the Costa oil mill built new milling and bottling plants that allow it to achieve high quality and technological standards. This has made it possible, not only to retain the existing customer portfolio, but also to reach new market segments, thanks above all to the processing of Nocellara dell'Etna, a fine quality of local olives. A careful analysis of the reference consumers, the increasingly high quality of the final product and the use of packaging with an increasingly refined design are the critical success factors that have allowed Oleificio Costa to be even more competitive even outside the Italian borders.Read their story
