OUR HISTORY

ANCIENT MESSINA-ITHOMI

The area is famous not only for its history but also for the cultivation and production of products of high quality and taste. Its wider area was labeled  “Blessed Land”  by Pausanias.

Archaeological excavations carried out at a rapid pace reveal the great economic and cultural development of the region during ancient times. Also, archaeological evidence shows us that the eating habits of the Messinians were directly and inextricably linked to olive and olive oil. A key element in many of their recipes was the fig, which could easily be preserved as dried.

Nowadays, the archaeological site of Messina is a magnet for thousands of visitors. You can follow their example and discover a tourist paradise of sea, mountain, and sun. The natural products of the area will leave you with a sweet taste and memory. Enjoy them!
