Armato - Stained Label Olio di Olive Extra Vergine 500ml

Please note this bottle has a stained label and may have some dings and scratches throughout. This is a cosmetic issue only and the oil inside is in perfect condition for all of your cooking, dippling and drizzling needs!

This buttery, unfiltered olive oil is made exclusively from Taggiasche olives harvested from trees planted in the hamlet of Stellanello in the hills above the seaside town of Liguria’s Alassio. Harvest occurs from November through December and the oil is cold-pressed in the Armato family’s frantoio, a traditional stone mill. The resulting extra virgin olive oil carries a luscious gold tint with a sweet and subtle fruit taste. It is an ideal and versatile choice; perfect for just about any kitchen.

The Producers

The Armato family has been involved in the olive trade and the production of olive oil for multiple generations. It was over three decades ago in 1982 that we were first introduced to Aldo Armato. Aldo was small in stature and modest in nature but fiercely proud of his long family tradition of producing olive oil from the ancient groves of trees (exclusively the Taggiasca variety) planted in the hills above the town of Alassio on the Ligurian coast.

Aldo and Laura’s legacy has been handed down to their daughter, Alessandra, and her husband, Giordano Mazzariol. Alessandra and Giordano form a handsome and dynamic couple whose energy and intelligence effect continuous improvement in the quality that blesses this lovely olive oil. They have combined their talents to extend the use of their locally renowned olive oil to make a series of products that are devastatingly delicious.
