Roi Badalucco Taggiasca Extra Virgin Olive Oil: This exquisite oil is produced from a single type of olive, taggiasca, from the Liguria region of Italy. The best-selling line among the Roi family of Italian olive oils, Roi Badalucco Taggiasca Extra-Virgin Olive Oil is very high-quality extra-virgin olive oil that showcases delicate aromas with a slightly sweet flavor suitable to accompany any type of dish. It is great with meat or vegetables, whether raw or cooked.

The olive varietals pressed to create this olive oil include: 40% Leccino, 30% Frantoio, 20% Cucco, 10% Pendolino

Laudemia Frescobaldi: Experience the gold standard of Italian olive oil with Laudemio Frescobaldi Extra Virgin Olive Oil, crafted by the renowned Frescobaldi family in the heart of Tuscany. Grown across 300 hectares of pristine olive groves at altitudes between 200 and 500 meters, these olives thrive in a unique microclimate that enhances their flavor and nutritional profile.  Harvested early in autumn at the peak of freshness, the olives are pressed within hours at the family’s mill in Castello Nipozzano. This meticulous process ensures low acidity, vibrant emerald-green color, and an exceptional aromatic profile. Rich in antioxidants and health benefits, Laudemio represents the finest expression of extra virgin olive oil—perfect for drizzling over salads, finishing dishes, or gifting to the gourmet enthusiast.

Villa Manodori Extra Virgin Olive Oil was created to compliment all the Villa Manodori Balsamic condiments. It’s spicy, green tomato flavor derives from handpicked olives that are cold pressed. Villa Manodori Extra Virgin Olive Oil is used extensively by Massimo Bottura from the preparation to the finishing of plates at Osteria Francescana.  From the heart of Emilio Romagna, Massimo Bottura’s restaurant boasts 3 Michelin stars and we think his Olive Oil does too.  Check him out on Stanley Tucci’s Searching for Italy and in LA at the Gucci Reestaurant.
