Oliva Bella, Artisanal Olive Oil from Italy

Our olive oils are hand-harvested, from first pressings, and originate in groves hundreds of years old. One hundred percent extra virgin, with extremely low acidity. They boast all the healthful properties at the heart of the Mediterranean diet.

Produced in the region of Campania , in groves owned by our small family farm for more than 400 years. The farm is just outside of Naples . They use proven artisanal methods to produce some of the best oil we've ever tasted. Their small operation yields only 2000 to 3000 liters each year, and is certified organic by ICEA organization.

characteristics: A delicate oil, not to be confused with light in flavor, the biologico is the most complex of the three oils. Evolving from the front to the back of the palate, the oil shows itself differently at all points, showcasing a fresh hint of citrus that delights the tongue.

In Umbria , the olive and its oil are considered sacro , or "sacred". Umbria is considered one of the most important olive oil regions, where local laws ensure products and methods are authentic and traditional. Producing only in small batches, each harvest is finished by 4pm and the olives are at the press by 5pm , assuring minimum oxidation. This oil is certified organic in Italy by the I.M.C. organization.
