Dell’Orto Classic Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 101.4 oz / 3 Liter

The Foundation of Southern Italian Cooking

Dell’Orto Classic is our most versatile expression of extra virgin olive oil. It is crafted for everyday use, yet refined enough to reward close attention. Pressed at our family estate in Campania, this oil reflects balance, restraint, and the quiet confidence that comes from generations who know their land.

Olive Varietals and What They Contribute

A carefully composed blend of native and traditional Italian olives:

• Frantoio brings structure and freshness with clean green bitterness
• Leccino softens the profile with roundness and subtle sweetness
• Carpellese is a rare local variety that adds herbal depth and a gentle peppery finish

Together, these varietals create an oil that is expressive without being aggressive. The result is harmonious, food driven, and unmistakably Italian.

Flavor Profile

On the palate, Dell’Orto Classic opens with fresh green aromas such as artichoke heart and crushed olive leaf. This is followed by a measured bitterness that signals freshness and quality. The finish is clean and lightly peppery, lingering just long enough to enhance the dish without overpowering it.

Balanced. Savory. Precise.

Best Uses and Pairings

This is an olive oil meant to live on the counter, not tucked away in a cupboard.

• Drizzled over salads, burrata, and fresh vegetables
• Finished on pasta, risotto, and legumes
• Paired simply with crusty bread and sea salt

If you cook often and care about how your food tastes, this is the bottle you will reach for most.
