About Aziende Agricole Scyavuru

From Ribera to the world: How Scyavuru brought the scent of Sicily into the glass

Aziende Agricole Scyavuru was founded in 2005 in Ribera, a small town in the province of Agrigento on the southern coast of Sicily. Behind the company are family businesses whose roots as fruit growers go back several generations — and who have joined forces to make more of their raw materials than just fresh produce for the wholesale market. The name says it all: Sciavuru simply means "scent" or "aroma" in the Sicilian dialect — a promise that the products are intended to fulfill. Ribera is no coincidence as a cultivation area: the region is known for its strawberries (Fragolina di Ribera), citrus fruits, and almonds, all of which are raw materials that shape the Scyavuru range.

Processing in the supply chain: Raw material, recipe, bottling from a single source

Scyavuru's approach is the closed production chain. The fruits come predominantly from the affiliated family farms around Ribera as well as from the wider Sicilian surroundings — short transport routes that allow for processing immediately after the harvest. The recipes are based on traditional Sicilian preparation methods: jams are made using the old method of cooking fruits and local honey together, and creams without palm oil variants reflect the desire to reduce the ingredients to the essentials. Production takes place in Contrada Castellana, the agricultural site just outside Ribera.

The fact that Scyavuru has remained on a growth path is shown by its international presence: the products are sold in more than 60 countries — from the European gourmet trade to the Asian market.

Sicilian raw materials, directly on bread or in the patisserie

The range includes jams and preserves made from citrus fruits, strawberries, and the characteristic late mandarin of the Agrigento coast, as well as jellies — including one made from Zibibbo, the sweet Sicilian white wine — as well as pestos and spreadable creams. The Crema al Pistacchio, the Crema alla Mandorla, and the Crema al Limone are the best-known spreads in the range and represent the fundamental idea behind Scyavuru: a few, clearly tasty ingredients from the immediate vicinity, processed into something that works on a brioche, as a filling for a cake, or straight from the spoon. Anyone looking for Sicilian delicacies beyond tomato sauce and Pesto alla Genovese will find a range at Scyavuru that shows the richness of the island in a concentrated form.

Frequently asked questions

Scyavuru –
the scent of Sicily in jars from Ribera

Scyavuru was founded in 2005 by brothers-in-law Rosario Tortorici and Nino Tornambè in Ribera on the southern coast of Sicily – a region known for its oranges, almonds, and aromatic herbs. The name is no coincidence: "Sciavuru" means scent or aroma in the old Sicilian dialect, and that is exactly what is at the heart of every product.

What distinguishes Scyavuru from industrial delicatessen manufacturers is complete control over their own supply chain: cultivation, harvest, and processing are all in one hand. The raw ingredients are harvested fresh and processed immediately – whether into fruity jams, robust pestos, or fine spreads. This preserves aromas that would be lost during longer transport routes.

Scyavuru products are suitable as an accompaniment to cheese and charcuterie as well as a base for savory sauces or as a spread on good bread. Those looking for Sicilian culinary tradition with an artisanal standard will find an honest, aroma-rich selection at Scyavuru.
