Trade & Investment Agency

The Ruggeri family boasts a history of experience and honesty in the oil production and trade sector
spanning more than a century. It all began with the author of the first expansion of the company and
whose name we proudly chose for our brand to embrace new horizons for the future: "Don Pietro."
From the age of just 10, Don Pietro traversed trails and roads throughout the Messina area on a muledrawn
cart. From a young age, he was instilled with a sincere affection for his land and the fruits it
produces—provided it is respected, cared for, and loved.
Without ever betraying Don Pietro's legacy, his children and grandchildren have persevered in bringing
prestige and, above all, proper recogni����on to the genuine work of a man who made "respect" for the
customer and the product a cornerstone of his personal and professional relationships.
Anchored by a deep attachment to their Sicilian roots and driven by a genuine emotional connection to the
care of the plant, they have, for years, carefully selected the finest “cultivars” from the most suitable
regions.The current historical period, particularly filled with challenges, encourages Ruggeri Olii to look to the
future with a different perspective, driven by pride and an innovative spirit towards evolutionary
programmatic developments, while remaining firmly anchored in the certainties and characteristics of its
generational past, and, for the first ����me, led by a woman.
After years of men representing and promoting the Ruggeri brand, the baton has now passed into the
hands of Venusia Grillo, the daughter-in-law of Vincenzo Ruggeri, the refined creator of Ruggeri Oli's
blends. She is a 40-year-old woman with a soul split between a deep understanding of reality through legal
studies and an artistic and cultural sensitivity; all of this accompanied by a natural inclination towards the
concept of beauty, precision, and refinement, even in tastes and flavors. Her determination, in line with
what has always made the Ruggeri brand recognizable in the Sicilian quality products market, remains
steadfast in preferring excellent supply chains, the supreme outcome of which is always and remains the
gra����fica����on of the customer through the pleasure of the palate, thanks to the king of our Mediterranean
diet, which flavors, enriches, and enhances.
