Maletto is the highest municipality on Mount Etna and in the province of Catania, its territorial peculiarities are the stony soil formed by lava cooled after thousands of years of eruptive activity. In this special soil each fruit takes on unique and special properties and flavors. The main one is the Maletto strawberry and its small and unique variety in the world, the wild strawberry. The company, which has always been family-run, has always placed the quality and craftsmanship of the products and processed products as a general principle. Our highlights are the liqueur “Fragoletto ” and the pistachio liqueur of Bronte D.O.P. Over the years, these have been awarded various regional and national awards. In 2016 the company was restructured and Benedetto Cutraro, brother of Maurizio and his son Vincenzo joined the company.
