Why we love it
Too often extra virgin olive oil is seen as one, without any consideration on the producer or the provenance or the olive variety, assuming they all taste the same: this assumption could not be more wrong.
Our map list all Italian native olive varieties cultivated across Italy. Extra virgin olive oil can be as fascinating as wine when looked at properly, when taking into account region, variety and producer, with each oil having its own characteristics, from light and delicate to rich, and each oil and variety better suited for a specific food.
This Italian native olive varieties map is perfect for people who love cooking and wants to know more about the provenance of the ingredients, in this case Italian extra virgin olive oil. The map is available as a PDF or a poster measuring 61x91cm. If ordering the PDF version, the file has a high resolution and can be printed in any size.
The artisan who made it
Founded in 2003 by Andrea D’Ercole, Italyabroad.com was created from a lifelong passion for authentic Italian food and wine, and the desire to share Italy’s true culinary heritage with the UK and beyond.
At Italyabroad.com, quality, integrity, and tradition are at the heart of everything we do. We work directly with small, family-run wineries and artisan food producers across Italy - people who value craftsmanship over mass production, and who use only the finest natural ingredients. That means no palm oil, no preservatives, and no artificial additives - just genuine flavours made with care.
We proudly stand against industrially produced goods and misleading “Italian-sounding” imitations. Every bottle of wine and every product we import reflects the diversity of Italy’s regions and the dedication of the families who create them. Over the years, Italyabroad.com has been recognised with multiple awards for the outstanding quality of our wines and foods. But more than accolades, our journey is driven by passion, purpose, and a simple belief: no compromise, only the best and most authentic Italian wine and food.
