Kattibuale

In the center of the Mediterranean Sea, on the island of Pantelleria, lies "Kattibuale", a family-run farm named after a small area of the island located between Lake Venus and the sea.
 

Kattibuale: the millennial history of agriculture in Pantelleria

"Heroic agriculture" is how Giuseppe Pavia, the owner of the individual company Kattibuale, defines it.
Pantelleria is located at the center of the Mediterranean, and for this reason has always been a meeting point of different cultures.

The long tradition and rural culture have distinguished the island in the world for its incredible and unique landscape and for some products that have been defined as "food excellences".
To ensure the authenticity and originality of the Pantellerian flavors, in recent years many small companies have emerged in Pantelleria with the primary objective of preserving the territoriality of certain products.
Among them, Kattibuale stands out, a company born from the awareness of having a unique land in hand, whose potential is incredible, and from a strong patriotic sentiment that flows into the desire to make the island known to enthusiasts and others.

Kattibuale's passion has been passed down through generations: the love for the terraces and typical crops, including capers, olives, and aromatic herbs.
Giuseppe Pavia inherited lands from his family, and the ever-growing desire to be in contact with the uncontaminated nature convinced him to start his farm.
 

The Kattibuale laboratory: the quality of Pantellerian products

This is how the Kattibuale laboratory was born, a place for transforming and packaging typical products cultivated, excellent, and unique in flavor.
The flagship products of the artisanal laboratory today are sea salt capers, Pantellerian oregano, and sun-dried tomatoes.

Pantellerian oregano is unique in its kind, extremely fragrant. It is cultivated and processed strictly by hand and dried under the June sun: it is precisely the meticulous attention to detail that makes oregano, as well as all other Kattibuale products, so distinctive.
These products are imbued with Pantellerian territoriality, just think of the caper, which encapsulates the effort required for processing and especially for the harvest, which is also done entirely by hand.
Today, the company boasts almost 5 hectares cultivated with vineyards, caper fields, olive groves, oregano, and vegetables.

Moving away from a mass agricultural economic model, Kattibuale differentiates itself from the surrounding panorama, safeguarding a small authentic, original, and nature-respecting production.
