Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What makes Dell'Orto olive oil different?

Our olive oils are made from hand-harvested olives grown in Salerno, Italy—many from 150-year-old trees. We use traditional cold press methods and never cut our oils with cheaper alternatives. The result? Award-winning flavor, purity, and quality that’s hard to find in typical grocery store oils.

Which olive oil should I start with if I'm new to high-quality olive oil?

We recommend starting with our Classic Extra Virgin Olive Oil (250ml)—a balanced, versatile oil with notes of green leaf and artichoke, perfect for everyday use. At just $24.95, it's the best introduction to world-class olive oil.

If you're looking for something bright and citrusy, try our Limonolio (250ml) for $27.95—delicious on seafood, pasta, or even vanilla ice cream.

Is your olive oil really better than what I can buy at the store?

Yes. Unlike most supermarket oils, which may be old, blended, or mislabeled, Dell'Orto oils are freshly bottled at the source and traceable to a single origin. We’ve even won two Gold Medals at the NYIOOC, the world’s most respected olive oil competition.

How should I store my olive oil?

Keep it in a cool, dark place away from heat and light—ideally in a pantry or cabinet. Our dark glass bottles are designed to protect the oil’s integrity, but proper storage will extend its freshness.

What’s the shelf life?

Our olive oils are best used within 18–24 months of bottling. Each bottle is marked with a “best by” date. Once opened, we recommend enjoying it within 3–4 months for peak flavor.

Is this olive oil organic?

Yes! We offer a certified Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, made from USDA- and CCPB-certified organic olives. It has beautiful herbal and nutty notes, and it's completely free of additives or pesticides.

Do you offer flavored oils?

Absolutely. We currently offer Limonolio (lemon-infused) and Piccantolio (chili-infused) extra virgin olive oils. Both use the same premium base oil and are infused naturally—no artificial flavoring.

Where do you ship and how long does it take?

We ship across the U.S. via ground shipping. Delivery typically takes 2–5 business days depending on your location. You’ll see an estimated delivery window at checkout.
