From farmer’s hands to yours
From Our Family to Your Table
At Florida Olive Farm, we believe great food begins with a deep respect for where it comes from.
Our story stretches from the golden fields of Sicily, where our founder, Gaetano, spent his childhood playing hide and seek among the wheat, to the sun-drenched groves of Alachua, Florida.
Rooted in old-world tradition and driven by a passion for honest, exceptional ingredients, our family has made it our mission to bring the essence of Sicily into every bottle we produce here in Florida.
Harvested Once a Year, Naturally Exceptional
Our olive oil is as natural as it gets: pure, unblended, and crafted in limited batches. Because we can only harvest once per year, supply is dictated by the rhythm of the land. As Gaetano likes to say, "we’re limited by Mother Nature."
That’s how we ensure every drop maintains remarkable quality and flavor.
With a naturally low acidity that keeps the oil from souring, our olive oil is as close to fresh-pressed juice as you can find. The result? Good fats, vibrant flavor, and countless health benefits. Whether you drizzle it over salads, finish a dish, or simply enjoy it straight by the spoonful.
A Taste of Tradition
From our Florida olive groves to your kitchen, our products honor the timeless practices that have shaped our family’s love for food.
You’ll also find our passion expressed at our local restaurants: O Sole Mio in Jonesville and New York Pizza Plus in Alachua, where we bring classic Italian recipes to life, including our signature freshly made pizzas and a hearty lunch buffet that captures the flavors of home.
Whether you’re cooking with our olive oil, sharing a meal with family, or gathering around the table at one of our restaurants, you’re part of a tradition that celebrates simplicity, authenticity, and joy.
From farmer’s hands to yours; thank you for letting us be part of your story. Buon appetito!
