Villa Reale Supreme

Villa Reale Supreme is a premium food brand from the island of Sicily, Italy, operating under the company Campo d'Oro, which specializes in traditional Sicilian preserves (conserve) and condiments.

Villa Reale Supreme is not merely a conventional food brand; it elevates Sicily’s rich culinary heritage into a new dimension of luxury and premium quality. The brand carefully selects high-quality ingredients sourced from Sicily, including components from the Slow Food Presidia project—an organization dedicated to protecting and preserving rare, valuable local ingredients.

 

The Origins of Campo d'Oro

Campo d'Oro was founded by Paolo Licata around 1989–1990. He established the company with the mission of preserving traditional Sicilian recipes that were gradually disappearing over time, reviving them to ensure their sustainability for future generations.

Paolo Licata combined treasured family recipes passed down through generations with modern production innovations, while maintaining a philosophy centered on purity and ingredient quality. In its early years, the company focused primarily on canned foods and specialty products that reflected authentic Sicilian culinary traditions.

As the company expanded and gained international recognition, the management identified an opportunity to develop a brand aimed at the high-end market—catering to customers seeking superior-quality premium products. Thus, Villa Reale Supreme was born as the company’s most luxurious and prestigious product line.

The name “Villa Reale Supreme” translates to “Royal Palace Supreme,” reflecting an image of luxury and Sicily’s rich cultural heritage.

 

A Strategic Location in the Heart of Sicily

Campo d'Oro is located in the Sicilian countryside in Contrada Scunchipane, Sciacca, approximately 50 kilometers from the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento.

This location was carefully chosen to ensure the production facility operates in a pristine environment, far from pollution and noise. Surrounded by centuries-old olive trees, the setting reflects a harmonious connection between nature, culture, and the production of high-quality food.

Most of the ingredients used in production come from the Licata family’s own farms. Every stage—from seed selection to determining the optimal ripeness of produce—is meticulously monitored and controlled. All raw materials are processed within 24 hours of harvest, without the addition of chemicals, preservatives, or artificial coloring. This policy demonstrates the company’s commitment to delivering the highest quality products while ensuring consumer health and safety.

 

Advanced and Sustainable Production Standards

Campo d'Oro’s production facility is modern and environmentally friendly, incorporating advanced technologies into its manufacturing processes. The plant primarily relies on renewable energy sources, including solar panels and wind turbines.

Since 2010, the company has implemented internationally recognized quality management systems to ensure continuous safety and quality standards. Certifications include:

• BRC (British Retail Consortium)
• IFS Food (International Featured Standards)
• FSSC 22000 (Food Safety System Certification)
• Bio Organic
• JAS (Japanese Agricultural Standard)
• Kosher
• Halal
• Ecovadis

These certifications reflect the company’s strong commitment to maintaining the highest standards throughout every production stage—from sourcing raw materials to final packaging. The company has also achieved Carbon Neutral certification, demonstrating its dedication to reducing environmental impact and conducting business responsibly for the long term.

In addition, Campo d'Oro employs an efficient traceability system that allows consumers to clearly verify the origin of the ingredients used in each product. This system enhances transparency, credibility, and confidence in every item brought to market.

 

Commitment to Slow Food Presidia

One of Villa Reale Supreme’s most significant strengths is its dedication to sourcing ingredients from Sicily’s Slow Food Presidia projects. These initiatives aim to preserve unique local ingredients, sustain traditional food production methods, and protect regional biodiversity.

Selected Slow Food Presidia ingredients include:

• Giarratana Onion – exceptionally large and naturally sweet
• Nubia Garlic – intensely aromatic with a distinctive red hue
• Noto Almonds – rich in flavor with a smooth, delicate texture

These ingredients not only deliver superior taste but also actively support the preservation of Sicily’s agricultural heritage.
