Our 250ml ITALOIL extra virgin olive oil is harvested in Capodimonte, a small lakeside town surrounded by ancient groves and rich volcanic soil. This size offers the perfect balance between everyday use and easy portability. It brings the fresh aroma of early harvest olives and the honest flavor of the Italian countryside directly to your kitchen.
Each year, we are among the first producers to complete our harvest. Within approximately 30 days, the new oil arrives in Chicago, making ITALOIL one of the first available fresh harvest oils in the U.S. market each January.
Perfect For
- Smaller households that enjoy high quality olive oil
- Gifting to friends who appreciate authentic Italian flavor
- Keeping a second bottle for special dishes or weekend cooking
Each pour reflects the rhythm of rural Italy. Drizzle it over salads, grilled vegetables, or warm bread and you will taste the bright, green notes that make Capodimonte olive oil so distinctive.

How to Use
Treat it with the same care we use in the grove. Use gentle heat below 325°F to protect its natural antioxidants, polyphenols, and fresh aroma. Excessive heat can flatten the flavor of any high quality extra virgin olive oil and increase bitterness.
