an extended business assignment in Italy led to gifts of legacy family olive oils led to lasting ties

to small family producers led to import license and sales in the U.S.

Oliva Bella imports small family olive oils and balsamicos directly from the producers in Italy and sells them retail under the name Oliva Bella.
Our Italian olive oils are certified extra virgin, are award-winning, and internationally respected. Oliva Bella also produces a line of Italian-inspired condiments in the U.S. based upon the olive oils and balsamicos.
The personal relationships with the small families in Italy and the long-term customers in America form the foundational values of the company: community, abundance, integrity, health, and grace.
Oliva Bella’s founder, Lea Ann Vessels, had the amazing good fortune to enjoy an extended business assignment in Pescara, Italy, from which happily, she has never recovered.

ciao!
