The story of the Fagone Agricultural Company, Excellence in Agriculture. It all began in the distant 1980s when Salvatore Noto, an enterprising young sixteen-year-old determined to achieve his goals, began to take an interest in cultivating an extraordinary vegetable: the Giarratana Onion. After a few years of sacrifices and hard work, thanks to his savings, he managed to buy the first van with which he started to sell and make the onion known in neighboring towns. He was not yet aware that this would lay the foundations for the FAGONE company. Over time, the Giarratana Onion began to be increasingly in demand by the market, so in 2006 Salvatore decided to start transforming the Giarratana Onion, creating the first line of preserves and passing the same passion to his children. From then on, thanks to the father's experience and the creativity of the children, the company began to expand and make its products known nationally!
