About olio2go.com
Northern Italy Liguira, The Veneto, Emilia-Romagna
Olio2go.com is the leading retailer for Italian extra virgin olive oil. Based in Fairfax, Virginia, we import, distribute,
and sell directly to consumers. Our mission is to find the very best olive oils produced in Italy and offer these for
sale. This catalog and our web site provide information about olive oil so that you can appreciate the differences
in the regions from which these oils come, and in the ways that the olive oils enhance food.
Some oils are blended from several olive varieties to produce a unique taste, much like a vintner blends grapes
to make a fine wine. Some olive oil producers press oils from a single estate or a single variety, which may
produce a fine oil. Another name for a single variety olive oil is a monocultivar. These single-estate oils and
artisanal oils are among the world’s best, and are always available in very small quantities. These premium olive
oils make fabulous gifts for the holidays and throughout the year.
About Liguria
The craggy coastal region of Northwest Italy arches toward Monte Carlo. It is filled with
palm trees, lemon trees, and olive groves. The terraced hillsides yield olive oils more
delicate than those of other regions.
Vittorio Cassini Classico Extra Virgin Olive Oil 2013
The Cassini ancestors planted the original Taggiasca olive trees high on the hillside, where the sub-tropical
breezes and temperate climate provide ideal conditions. At the harvest, the crop is picked predominantly at
the green stage. With a delicate fragrance, intense and almond overtones, this oil lends well to fish, pork, and
vegetable dishes. Of course, it is recommended for creating the quintessential pesto, a classic of the region.
Clean, sweet, buttery finish. Keyword: Cassini

Regions of Italy
There are twenty regions of Italy, each with its own
distinct characteristics. Until the famous Giuseppe
Garibaldi led the unification of Italy in the 19th
century, each region was an independent state.
The foods, the landscape, the wines, and the oils
vary widely from region to region. Olio2go presents
extra virgin olive oils from the oil-producing regions
for your enjoyment. We invite you to try a variety of
oils to taste the differences.
About The Veneto
Veneto is a coastal area and not well known for olive trees. The region possesses a wide
variety of terrain, from the marshes of Venezia to the high mountains of the Dolomites.
Oleum Oleae Tenimenti de Ambroxiis 2013
From Valpolicella near Verona, comes Oleum Oleae Tenimenti di Ambroxiis. We met Paolo and his perfect
oil in Veneto. An outstanding representation of the oils of the region, it is composed of the best Grignano,
Leccino, and Frantoio olives grown on the family farm. The exquisite aroma is lightly fruity, typical of this zone
of production. The taste opens sweet and progresses to a pleasantly lightly spicy finish. Best as a finish to
fish, vegetables, and risotto. Keyword: Oleum

Tuscany
About Tuscany
Avignonesi Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 2013
Toscana, or Tuscany in English, is considered the
classic olive oil region of Italy. The oils of Lucca
and the Chianti regions are best known. In the
Chianti region, near Siena, the oils tend to be
spicy with hints of artichoke and pepper. Further
south in the area around Montalcino, the oils tend
to be deeper green, more rustic, and with more
intense flavors.
Classic Tuscan Avignonesi is produced from the olives of four growers in the Montepulciano area of the
Chianti Classico. The oil is packaged in an elegant tall glass container in an attractive box, which makes it
a great gift. Avignonesi is composed of Correggiolo, Moraiolo and Leccino olives. Decanted before bottling,
the oil is smooth, fruity and aromatic, with a good nip of pepper at the finish. For salads? Certainly…and also
broccoli, baked sea bass, or whatever you fancy! Keyword: Avignonesi

cells. They use the Sinolea method to extract oil, drop by drop, without using water. The result is an oil full of
healthy antioxidants. The intense aroma of the olive oil is very persistent and the balanced tastes are sweet,

Umbria, Lazio and Abruzzo
About Umbria
About Lazio
Umbria’s olive oils are primarily crafted from the olives of the Frantoio,
Leccino, and Moraiolo varieties. The oils tend to have an artichoke
and green tomato aroma, and sometimes have the peppery taste of
Tuscan oils. Many of the Umbrian oils have a fruity flavor with a great
deal of body.
Lazio (Latium in Latin) is the region of the Etruscans—founders of Rome. Outside
of Rome, the region’s rural economy is dominated by agriculture, including cultivation
of wine grapes, fruit, vegetables and olives—for lively olive oils.

Calabria & Puglia
About Campania
About Calabria
Pizza and buffalo mozzarella originated in
Campania, a region rich in agriculture and
perpetually mild climate. Campania distributes
many agricultural products, including tomatoes,
potatoes, eggplants, peppers, peas, figs, apricots,
plums and cherries. Tourists know Campania as
the home of Naples, the Roman Ruins at Pompeii,
Mt. Vesuvius, and the Amalfi Coast.
Calabria (Latin: Bruttium or Brutium), occupies the ankle and toe of Italy. Calabrese
cuisine, is spicy and hot, and includes pasta, produce, meats, fish and fruit—all from

peppery notes typical of these Mediterranean latitudes. Keyword: Ruine
Puglia (Apulia) stretches down the heel of the boot, making it a land somewhat apart
from the rest of Italy. This area is often overlooked by tourists although it is steeped
in ancient history. Agriculture is the most important sector, with much olive oil
produced. Puglia produces more olive oil than any other single region, but most goes
into the mass-produced oils rather than the estate bottled, high quality oils we prefer.
The dominant olives in Puglese oils are Coratina and Ogliarola.

Sicily
About Sicily
Sicilia (Sicily in English) is so different from the rest
of Italy that it could be its own country—which many
Sicilians think it should be. The familiar cities include
Palermo and Messina. Sicily is home to Mount Etna.
Olive oils from the coastal regions often have intense
flavors. From the region around Ragusa, the oils tend
to have more body and be more fruity. From the hills,
the oils tend to be more well rounded, particularly the
oils from the Belice river valley near Menfi. In other
words, Sicilian oil is as varied as the region itself. The
olive varieties include Belice, Biancolilla, Moresca,
Cerasuola, Nocellara, and Tonda Iblea.
Planeta DOP Val di Mazara 2013
Planeta’s family grove, Caparinna, is situated on fertile land by the sea near Menfi, in the province of
Agrigento, where they grow Nocellara del Belice, Cerasuola, and Biancollila olives. Previously produced
only for family, Planeta has been bottled for sale for just over 10 years. The intense aroma and flavors
are herbaceous, with elements of citrus, artichokes, and tomatoes, layered with a spicy-peppery finish.
Recommended pairings include tomatoes and mixed salads, grilled vegetables, firm cheeses, and even
a topping for vanilla ice cream. Flos Olei, Gold Medal Los Angeles.

About our Novello Selections
About our Balsamic Vinegars
Celebrating the New Harvest! Between midNovember and early December, the first new
harvest selections arrive on our shores. These
premium selections are celebrated by olive oil
aficionados and they make great gifts.
True Italian balsamic vinegar is only produced

12 to 100 years, as the vinegar is aged in oak,
ash, mulberry, cherry, and chestnut, and the flavor
becomes concentrated and multi-dimensional. The
highest quality is Tradizionale, and while Aceto
Balsamico di Modena is also very pleasing.
Additional new harvest selections will be available
and searchable through the Novello keyword!
Condiments are best drizzled over vegetables,
meats, cheese, and fish. The highest quality
balsamic vinegars are often drizzled over
strawberries or gelato.

of different woods, among them oak, juniper, ash, mulberry, cherry, and chestnut. Under the guidelines of the
