About Barbera

Alessandro Barbera, a young Sicilian entrepreneur, after decades of life experience abroad, chose to return to his homeland, Sicily, to dedicate himself to the cultivation of blood oranges and prickly pears. Today, Azienda Agricola Aragona is an innovative company with a focus on sustainable production. It is located in Sicily on the slopes of the volcano Etna in an area rich in water and mineral salts, in a microclimate ideal for the cultivation of blood oranges.

"We grow citrus fruits, prickly pears, almonds and olives with passion, blending Sicilian traditions with technological innovations that allow us to produce healthy, controlled and sustainable fruit. We harvest and ship the fruit the same day to ensure maximum freshness and bring the scent, flavour and quality of Sicily to our customers' tables."
