In the Catania Province, between Etna and the plane of Simeto River, the Turismo Rurale Fontana del Cherubino is settled in a land where traditional olive and orange agriculture has traditionally carried out. Fontana del Cherubino started in 2004, with the aim of promoting and spreading the quality of the most important product: the high-quality extra-virgin olive oil of the Etna territory. The end of 2008 has seen the birth of the restaurant, open every weekend and on holiday days.

The restaurant has 3 rooms of different dimensions, for up to 80 person. The bigger room is also equipped with an audio system and video projector and it can host meetings, conferences and workshop. A beautiful and wide terrace with a view on the Simeto river valley is the ideal place to join a sunny lunch or romantic dinner, in a peaceful atmosphere of the Etna countryside.
The farm produces also extra-virgin olive oil, got from old olive trees of Nocellara Etna cultivar (some more than 100 years old). Olives are precociously and strictly manually at the 2nd half of October to get a less yield and consequent high quality oil. They are crushed with a cold continuous cycle in the very same day of the harvest. Oil rests for about 2 months, naturally decanting into stainless steel tanks of 1000 litres in absence of air and without any mechanical filtration. It has than bottled, avoiding air contact. In 2007 about 2500 bottles were produced.
