Why we love it
Too often extra virgin olive oil is seen as one, without any consideration on the producer or the provenance or the olive variety, assuming they all taste the same: this assumption could not be more wrong.
Our map list all Italian native olive varieties cultivated across Italy. Extra virgin olive oil can be as fascinating as wine when looked at properly, when taking into account region, variety and producer, with each oil having its own characteristics, from light and delicate to rich, and each oil and variety better suited for a specific food.
This Italian native olive varieties map is perfect for people who love cooking and wants to know more about the provenance of the ingredients, in this case Italian extra virgin olive oil. The map is available as a PDF or a poster measuring 61x91cm. If ordering the PDF version, the file has a high resolution and can be printed in any size.
The artisan who made it
Founded in 2003 by Andrea, ItalyAbroad.com emerged from a passionate desire to bridge the gap between discerning consumers and the true essence of Italian food and wine. Upon arriving in the UK, Andrea, hailing from a family steeped in Italian winemaking traditions, recognized a stark contrast between the commercially available "Italian" products and the authentic, high-quality fare he cherished back home.
Driven by a commitment to quality and authenticity, Italyabroad.com embarked on a mission to unearth hidden gems from small, dedicated Italian wineries and artisanal producers. We meticulously curate our selection, ensuring that every product embodies the rich heritage and exceptional craftsmanship that define Italian excellence.
We partner exclusively with small, family-run businesses who uphold traditional methods and prioritize quality over mass production and our products are crafted using the finest, natural ingredients, free from palm oil, preservatives, and artificial additives. At Italyabroad.com we categorically reject industrially produced items and "Italian-sounding" imitations, focusing solely on genuine Italian delicacies.
Since 2003, Italyabroad.com has been the recipient of several awards for the high quality of products we import.
