1952<\/h2>
The history of the RoccaforteBio company began in the second half of the 1900s, when our great-grandfather, Don Ciccio Marchese, purchased the first land
\nin Piazza Armerina in the Gallinica district.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

1956<\/h2>
In the hot wind of Sicily, Don Ciccio begins to produce wheat and plants the first seventy olive trees, enough to meet the needs of the family.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

As the years go by, the love for the land turns into a daily work, made of passion and dedication.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

2006<\/h2>
It was in 2006 that, under the propulsive thrust of Aunt Sabrina and the support of her siblings Patrizio and Marina Roccaforte, the activity was structured in a
\nmore functional way, taking the name of Azienda Agricola Marchese.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

2006<\/h2>
From that moment the activity takes on a more competitive character and the production, which until then was conventional<\/i>, becomes organic<\/i>. The oil ``Don Ciccio``, extra virgin olive oil of excellent quality, is released on the market.<\/p><\/div><\/div>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.roccafortebio.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/lavorazione-del-terreno.jpg\")
2017<\/h2>
Determined to continue the long family tradition, in 2017 we founded RoccaforteBio, a ``simple agricultural company`` : the extension of the Marchese
\ncompany was tripled and the production diversified with the addition of prickly pears, almonds, carobs and pistachios.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

OGGI<\/h2>
Passion<\/b> for nature and respect<\/b> for the environment and traditions are the values of our family. Experience<\/b> and innovation<\/b> are the elements that for four
