HISTORY AND CULTURE
The company was founded in 1970 by its founders Felice Guerzoni and Iride Bardeschi, who decided to focus, ahead of their time, on organic and biodynamic products; not as a marketing strategy but out of conviction and sensitivity towards eco-sustainability and consumer health. Today his son Lorenzo Guerzoni, CEO of "Acetaia Guerzoni", carries on this important cultural legacy with dedication and modernity.

Our mission is "natural goodness" Producing products faithful to tradition with the intention of transmitting to everyone the taste of the past and the spirit of our territory; Don't bend nature to our will but listen to it and let yourself be guided by it. We aspire to become the reference partner for all those who decide to share our values.
OUR VALUES
Our values are passion for the product and tradition, care for quality and constant attention to sustainability in every business process. We have expanded our offer with several condiments of our own creation, but what is it the tradition if not a successful innovation? farm at Bosco Falconeria, located some 40 miles west of Palermo in the hills overlooking the Gulf of Castellammare has belonged to the Simeti family since 1933, when it was a 25-acre farm dedicated mainly to vineyards, with a cellar in which there were seven platforms for treading the grapes, and where as many as 30 people worked during the grape harvest.
Family problems, the agricultural crisis and the 1968 earthquake resulted in a period of abandonment, until in the early ‘seventies the farmhouse was restored as a vacation home.
From then on summers and weekends became busier and busier. The passionate involvement of Antonio Simeti, agronomist, married the curiosity of his wife, Mary Taylor Simeti, who in the early ‘80’s - while exporting Sicily to the States through books and articles - began to bring back information about organic agriculture.
Thus the vacation house returned to productivity, the property grew from the original 25 acres to over 35, the crops became diversified. In 1989, with Bosco Falconeria as its trademark, the farm obtained official organic certification. The following year the Simetis made the farm their permanent residence.
For the last ten years Bosco Falconeria has bottled its own organic extra virgin olive oil, has furnished fresh organic fruit and vegetables to speciality stores in Palermo, and has often bottled its own organic wine.
The family has grown as well: Natalia Simeti and her Finnish husband Rami Salo, a Tai Chi Chuan instructor, have decided to make Bosco their home and to take over the management of the farm.
