Premium Ligurian Taggiasca Extra Virgin Olive Oil - DOP Certified - Fresh Cold Pressed in Italy

From the brand Family-Owned Olive Mill, ROI has been perfecting Olive products for four generations, since 1900, offering a wide variety of the best possible products. The history of the Roi family begins in 1900 when Giuseppe, the great-grandfather "Pepin u Roi", built the first oil mill using the wood and stones of our valley. It is the beginning of a long journey that reaches today, up to Paolo, who with his father spends all his time and passion in the family oil mill.

We strive to highlight high-quality Italian and Taggiasca olives with our products, from oils to sauces and the most special creations. 42 hectares of olive groves in the Argentina valley overlooking the Mediterranean sea, gives our oils unique characteristics linked to the land. Olives have been farmed here since Roman times.

Our oil derives exclusively from the first cold pressing of the olives. We use the newest technology without heating the paste or adding hot water, to give our EVOO greater bio nutrition, organoleptic superiority, and better preservation. Producing Ligurian quality oil is an art, but much of the merit is attributed to the variety of plants in the territory that have low acidity, a fruity aroma, and a sweet sensation. This enhances the oil without being intrusive.

Roi is a small family-owned EVOO producer that has been operating for four generations. The olive grove and the flavor of the olives are influenced by the surrounding Mediterranean woodland and chestnut trees, the sea and wild herbs. The olive mill is composed of the traditional mill with a granite millstone and two presses, as well as a newly designed mill with a continuous cycle and cold extraction.

This estate is located in one of the most unique corners of Italy. Olive trees grow on terraced land in very steep hills and cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. The climate and sea influence the oil's taste and aroma. Monocultivar Taggiasca is obtained from the first cold pressing, using granite millstone.

The olives come exclusively from selected and certified suppliers, who attest that the origin of the raw material is Italian (100% Ligurian) and Cultivar Taggiasca. The Imperia Chamber of Commerce samples, analyzes, and evaluates the oil, and it is certified as FOE. The oil is also BIO recognized and approved by the FDA.

The Ligurian Taggiasca Olive Oil is sweet olives and fruity, the Cultivar Ogliarola - Taggiasca Extra Virgin Olive Oil is delicate and sweet with almond notes, the Mosto Extra Virgin Olive Oil has artichokes and fresh olives, the Carte Noire Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Taggiasca) has dried fruit and olives, and the Fresh Ligurian Basil Pesto (vegan) has basil, garlic, and pine nuts.

The Carte Noire Extra Virgin DOP Olive Oil is a smooth and flavorful low acidity olive oil with a fresh scent and hints of grass, artichoke, fruity green apple, and olive. The pleasant thickness of the oil provides an aftertaste of light notes of dried fruit. Its delicate nature makes it perfect for seasoning raw food.
