Due Palmenti

The Azienda Agricola Due Palmenti is located in the heart of Eastern Sicily, more precisely in Pedara, a small village in the province of Catania situated at the foot of Mount Etna, at an altitude of about 610 m above sea level, in the area known as Due Palmenti, which is where the company got its name.

Due Palmenti is engaged in the production and commercialization of aromatic plants, of which oregano is undoubtedly the flagship product!
 

Due Palmenti: the true Sicilian oregano

Oregano is a unique aromatic herb that has numerous and diverse uses in the kitchen. Sicilian oregano grows at mountain and foothill latitudes, and it is this particular placement that gives it an intense and distinctive aroma.

The term oregano indeed derives from the Greek "oros", meaning mountain, and "ganos", meaning joy, which literally translates to joy of the mountain. A true treasure of Nature that Due Palmenti has chosen to enhance, thanks in part to the help of Spaghetti&Mandolino!
 

Due Palmenti and the poetry of the territory

The territorial context in which Due Palmenti is immersed is rich in history and rural traditions passed down from father to son, generation after generation. Green hills, estates, noble villas, and terraces provide the backdrop to a landscape that seems to be out of time and space to the eyes of travelers.

The Etna stands imposing and majestic in the background, acting, at the same time, as a loving and caring mother that provides the ideal conditions to cultivate the products of the land. 

The characteristic climate of the Etna territory, marked by mild and moderately rainy winters and hot, sunny summers, combined with a lightweight sandy soil rich in microelements, originating from lava flows whose origins are lost in the mists of time, make this enchanting place particularly suited for hosting a wide variety of typical local crops.

Among them, the outstanding aromatic herbs managed to release scents, flavors, tastes, and aromas that are particularly fragrant and intense, unique in their kind compared to varieties grown in other locations.
