SPECIALITIES INCLUDE THE FAMOUS SINGLE ESTATE CINQUE FOGLIE EXTRA VIRGIN OIL
The Olive Oil Co imports olive oil and vinegar from specialist producers across Italy, including many from founder Danilo Manco’s home region of Puglia – the centre of Italian olive oil production.
Specialities include the famous single estate cinque foglie extra virgin oil, for which olives are picked before they are fully ripe then pressed just once soon after picking, using a traditional cold press. The stall also sells some superb balsamic vinegar of Modena.
