Olive Oil, Family Ties, and a Century of Hard Work

The story of Catania Oils dates back to 1900 in the small village of San Pier Niceto, Sicily. Giuseppe Basile’s dream was to take his olive oil business from Sicily and establish it in the land of opportunity, America. Giuseppe set out to fulfill his dream at the turn of the 20th century moving to the United States with several barrels of olive oil and the hope of building a family business that would last for generations to come.

On this episode of the Never Go Against the Family podcast, Daniel Beenken interviews Joseph Basile, great-grandson of Giuseppe, to the podcast to share their family’s story.
