A Journey Through Italy’s Most Exceptional Extra Virgin Olive Oils
From the misty valleys of Rufina to the sun baked coast of Puglia, Italy’s olive oils are as diverse as its landscapes. Each region, each grove, and each producer tells a story — of soil, sun and generations of craftsmanship.
At EatAlfresco, we’ve hand selected five extraordinary Extra Virgin Olive Oils that capture the very best of Italian character. Together, they form a complete sensory journey through the country’s olive heartlands — from the cool spice of the north to the sunlit depth of the south.
(Feature image: five artisan bottles displayed on a rustic Tuscan farmhouse table — a celebration of Italian flavour and craftsmanship.)
