Dell’Orto PDO Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 16.9 oz / 500 ml

An Expression of Protected Origin

Dell’Orto PDO represents the most precise expression of our land. Produced exclusively in the Colline Salernitane region of Campania, this extra virgin olive oil is certified under the European Union’s Protected Designation of Origin. Every stage of production is governed by strict standards that safeguard origin, method, and character, resulting in an oil defined by authenticity and restraint.

Olive Varietal and Terroir

This oil is produced exclusively from Carpellese, a native olive variety central to the Colline Salernitane designation.

• Carpellese delivers structure, pronounced herbal character, and a firm bitterness balanced by an elegant peppery finish

The result is an oil shaped as much by geography as by tradition, reflecting the soils, climate, and centuries-old practices of southern Italy.

Flavor Profile

On the palate, Dell’Orto PDO opens with deep green aromas of olive leaf, grass, and unripe tomato. Notes of cardoon and fresh herbs follow, supported by a pronounced bitterness and a persistent, refined spice. This structure is a hallmark of high polyphenol oils and a clear expression of its protected origin.

Structured. Savory. Resolute.
