Antonella Turturici is a seasoned educator with over 25 years of experience teaching English at the college level and supporting public school literacy programs in both Long Island and Sicily. She blends her passion for education with her family’s cultural roots in a flavorful way.
Together with her husband Giovanni, Antonella launched an initiative to introduce Americans to the Giovanni’s family’s 77-year-old olive oil tradition from Sicily. For generations, the Turturici name has been synonymous with Olive Oil . It all began in 1948, when the Frantoio Oleario Turturici first started growing, harvesting, and pressing olives in the seaside village of San Nicola l’Arena. By 1957 Turturici olive oil began its journey across Europe. From the beginning, the Turturici press has remained deeply committed to tradition: hand-harvesting its own olives exclusively from the rich, sun-soaked groves of this corner of the island. To this day, the press is known for its unwavering quality and dedication to cold extraction—a meticulous method that preserves the flavor, aroma, and health benefits of the olives, with a monocultivar philosophy. No blends.
