About Us
From a small family farm
to a network of organic producers
For over 60 years the Magnano family has cultivated citrus fruits in Francofonte, in the heart of the province of Syracuse. In the 1950s, it all started from a small plot of land inherited from Mario Magnano's grandparents: a few hectares, a lot of hard work, and enough production to support the entire family.
Season after season, that plot grew into a structured citrus grove, converted in the 2000s to certified organic farming.
AranceBio Srl was born from this experience: the natural evolution that unites several organic producers from the same territory.

Francofonte: the heart of Sicilian citrus fruits
Our lands are located in the Francofonte area, a region historically dedicated to citrus fruits. Here, the microclimate, temperature fluctuations between day and night, the proximity of Etna, and mineral-rich soils create ideal conditions for PGI Sicilian Blood Oranges and other excellent varieties.
Behind every crate is the coordinated work of several farming families: from hand-picking to quality control, up to direct shipping without intermediaries.
Against anonymous globalization
In a market of indistinguishable products, AranceBio Srl puts the territory at the center: we give a face to those who cultivate, we tell the certain origin, and we bring citrus fruits that speak of Sicily with every segment.
