In the bustling heart of Palermo in Sicily, where the scent of sun-ripened tomatoes and fresh basil fills the air, the Contorno family has been crafting authentic Sicilian delicacies since 1916. What began as a small family venture founded by brothers Antonino and Luciano Contorno has grown into a celebrated name, known for preserving the true flavours of Sicily with the same passion and dedication for over a century.
Today, Gaetano Contorno and his cousin Noemi continue this legacy, producing La Bio Idea Pesto, Sicilian Caponata, rich Tomato Concentrate, and flavourful Capers. Each product is a reflection of their deep-rooted expertise and love for their land. Their pestos burst with the freshness of organic herbs, their caponata balances sweet and sour notes in perfect harmony, their tomato concentrate delivers an intense depth of flavour, and their capers, hand-picked and carefully preserved, add that unmistakable Sicilian touch to every dish.
For the Contorno family, food is more than nourishment – it’s a connection to history, a celebration of Sicilian culture, and a way to bring people together. And with La Bio Idea, they share this passion with you, inviting you to enjoy the true taste of Sicily, wherever you are.
