Taggiasca olives — grown on terraced Ligurian hillsides kissed by a Mediterranean sea breeze — produce one of Italy's most delicate, prized oils. Golden-yellow, almondine, with a sweet rounded finish and zero bitterness. This is the oil for dishes where you want enhancement, not competition.
WHY IT STANDS ABOVE THE REST
SERVING & PAIRING IDEAS
Dress a seafood salad or insalata di mare. Finish a potato salad instead of mayo. Use for light fish soups where you want the oil to enhance, not dominate.
PRODUCER STORY
Taggiasca olives have been cultivated on Liguria's steep terraced hillsides since Benedictine monks brought them from France in the 15th century. Villa Manodori sources from growers along the Riviera — an oil with a uniquely coastal character.
