A real organic extra virgin olive oil, produced in Italy (on our parcels in Gargano in Puglia), unfiltered, vintage, and produced according to the rules of the art to obtain a superior quality. For all your moments in the kitchen!
Our OLIO olive oil meets the conditions/quality criteria for the designation "extra virgin olive oil".
Even if today this mention does not mean anything anymore, Occhiolino is indeed cold extracted. This term was used to distinguish oils extracted with hot water. This method no longer exists.
Our olives are grown on plots concentrated in the village of Vico del Gargano in northern Puglia, a region renowned for the quality of its olive oil.
Occhiolino is produced from fruits that have not been treated at any time. Olive oil is a 100% natural product. There are no preservatives in olive oil, even less in Occhiolino's. Certified organic
Occhiolino's primary objective is to ensure transparency and traceability from the harvest to your plate.
Eliminating intermediaries allows to value the product and the producer, to ensure transparency, to offer a correct price, to limit the carbon emissions linked to transport.
Because an olive oil must above all be good. Occhiolino, thanks to its unique aromatic profile, will enhance all your dishes. You will not be able to live without it.
An olive oil produced from freshly harvested olives and immediately pressed to keep the maximum quality of taste. Rich in polyphenols, Occhiolino is a healthy product.
Because it is not enough to read "first cold pressed" to have a good and authentic olive oil. A real olive oil implies more than that: a concern for the producer, the consumer and the planet.
Occhiolino offers a truly extra virgin oil, entirely Italian, totally natural and insanely good.
This project started a few years ago with the acquisition of olive trees in Vico del Gargano, in Puglia, Italy.
As time went by and the harvests came in, the realization that our oil deserved to be shared pushed me to start marketing it.
Occhiolino, the olive oil, is born in 2019. A little over a year later, in 2021, Occhiolino becomes a brand and 2 new products are added to the range: the Limoncello and the Succo. Closely followed by a 3rd product, the Apple Juice. Other products are on the agenda.
Occhiolino, in short, is to produce in full transparency, to aspire to the best possible quality and to allow a moment of sharing.
Disconnecting, having a good time, and appreciating the simple and authentic things, this is also the spirit of Occhiolino.
Hand picked by a team of locals, our olives are then sent to the village press (Oleificio Fiorentino) to extract the wonderful oil of Occhiolino.
Store away from light and heat. Suitable for all your cooking needs. Also suitable for baking. An extra virgin olive oil supports well the heat.
