The Foundation of Southern Italian Cooking
Dell'Orto Classic is our most versatile expression of extra virgin olive oil. Crafted for everyday use, yet refined enough to reward close attention. Pressed at our family estate in Campania by the same family since 1870.
Balanced. Savory. Precise.
Crafted with Intention
Dell'Orto Classic opens with fresh green aromas — 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.
Dell'Orto Classic is 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 — harmonious, food driven, and unmistakably Italian.
This is an olive oil meant to live on the counter, not tucked away in a cupboard.
Drizzle over salads, burrata, and fresh vegetables. Finish on pasta, risotto, and legumes. Pair simply with crusty bread and sea salt. Use for sautéing and everyday cooking where flavor matters.
If you cook often and care about how your food tastes, this is the bottle you will reach for most.
Dell'Orto has been producing olive oil in Oliveto Citra, Campania since 1870. Polidoro and Sergio Dell'Orto are the fourth generation to tend these groves — groves that include trees planted by their great-grandfather Vito, who founded the mill nearly 155 years ago.
From hand-operated winches to today's continuous-cycle cold-extraction system, the technology has evolved constantly. The commitment to quality never has.
We live in Europe half the year and get to enjoy great olive oils; but must say... Dell'Orto is in a class of its own! It's truly 'Liquid Gold' !
Wow, thank you for such an incredible review! Knowing that you consider Dell'Orto to be in a class of its own is truly an honor. We especially loved the photos, seeing the next generation holding our bottle and your visit to Oliveto Citra, the home of our family's olive oil, made our day. Thank you for your support and for sharing your journey with us. Grazie di cuore!
I have ordered from your company a few times. Of course I have loved your product, how could it be bad with a name like Dell'Orto?
Thank you,
Steven Dellorto

The olive oil was a gift
A beautiful gift choice. Great olive oil is something truly special to receive. We hope your daughter enjoys every drop.
Dell’Orto is the best! The classic is very versatile and can be used for anything. I love all of the oils!!
Thank you, Jennifer. We truly appreciate your support. The Classic was crafted to be enjoyed across everything, so we’re glad it’s serving you well.
The most smooth taste. Fresh. Wonderful dark bottle. Love Dell'Orto. My only GO TO EVOO. Highly recommend. Great on salads and in sautéing. Nothing compared to what you purchase in grocery stores in my experience. The best!!!!
Thank you, Tom. We truly appreciate your support. We’re so glad you’re enjoying the freshness and balance of the Classic.
The best olive oil we’ve ever had!!
Thank you, JoEllen, that truly means a lot to us. We’re so glad you’re enjoying the Classic.
excellent taste but way to small for the cost
Neil, thank you for the kind words, we’re glad you enjoyed the flavor. Our Classic comes in a 750 ml bottle, which is actually larger than many premium olive oils that are typically sold in 500 ml bottles. We work hard to keep the quality of the harvest high while still offering good value. We truly appreciate you giving Dell’Orto a try.
Super taste on the palate. I've long been a fan of extra-virgin olive oil from the Campania region, although Puglia is another. It's hard to find oils from this region and Dell'Orto was a godsend when I first came across it on Facebook. Thank goodness! I highly recommend this oil to anyone who really appreciates the authentic flavors of good quality extra-virgin olive oil . Dell'Orto has a winner with this one. It's excellent on insalata caprese in case any of you are interested and a good way to taste and appreciate the real thing for first time buyers of this superb product.
Robert, thank you so much for this incredible review. It means a lot to hear from someone who truly appreciates the authentic flavors of Campania oils where our family’s mill is located, and we take great pride in bringing that regional character to the U.S.
We’re grateful Dell’Orto found its way to you, and we love your suggestion of using it on an insalata caprese, a perfect way to taste the purity of a true extra-virgin olive oil. Thank you again for the recommendation and for supporting our family’s tradition. We’re honored to have you as a customer.
Once we tried Dell Orto Oil, we realized that we finally found the BEST. It is by far the best oil we have ever used, and that goes back many, many years. Thank you for being there for us.
Al & Ginny, thank you so much for this wonderful review. Hearing that Dell’Orto is the best oil you’ve used in all these years truly means a lot to our family. We’re honored to be a part of your kitchen and grateful for your support. Thank you for being with us!
Still haven’t received! Highly annoyed!
I’m so sorry to hear your order hasn’t arrived yet. It looks like it was fulfilled promptly, but the carrier hasn’t provided any tracking updates. I’ll reach out to you directly to make this right and ensure you receive your olive oil as soon as possible.
