Smooth and fruity oil made with Liguria's prized Taggiasca varietal. Liguran olive oils are a touch lighter and more delicate than their Tuscan neighbors, making them the perfect foil for the region's pungent basil harvest (it's no wonder the Ligurians invented pesto!).
Franco Boeri, the proprietor of ROI, grows and presses his own Taggiasca olives, resulting in an outstanding collection of smooth and buttery extra virgin olive oils.
Drizzle over roasted peppers or grilled vegetables; Perfect as a finish for soups and sauces; pairs beautifully with mashed, boiled or roasted potatoes.
