Piro Extra Virgin Olive Oil 250mL (Drizzle)

When I opened in 2013, I sold Ravida Oilve Oil, a staple at Williams-Sonoma and my favorite of their extensive line of olive oils. In my head, I would emulate that concept. It didn't work. My business pivoted fairly early on, when I realized my clientele liked to try new things, explore different flavors, and experiment with newer brands. 

But every few years, I go on a search for a new olive oil for us. Mainly because I wanted to try something new - and I know my people will as well. This time around, I came across Piro, a Tuscan-based olive oil company that has 300-year-old olive trees. Here, let me let them tell you their story:

WHAT THEY SAY - 

Launched in the USA in 2020 by the brother and sister team Romain Piro and Marie-Charlotte Piro, Olio Piro expertly crafts an exceptional high antioxidant extra virgin olive oil loved for its distinctive flavor and outstanding health benefits. 

Winner of global contests and involved in a handful of prestigious collaborations, Piro redefines the ultra-premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil category. 

Respect for nature and tradition, a deep commitment to innovation and sustainability and a fervent devotion to quality at every step of our business are the core values of our company and brand.

We cold-press Olio Piro in limited batches from a unique blend of early-harvest olives including Leccino, Moraiolo, Frantoio, and the rare Olivastra Seggianese, selected from our own groves of 300-year-old olive trees on the slopes of Mount Amiata in the Maremma region of Southern Tuscany. Our proprietary double filtration milling system developed in cooperation with the italian Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche yields a sophisticated Extra Virgin Olive Oil with a rich taste and an unusually high level of healthful antioxidants.

Everything we do, from hand-picking our olives to guard them from bruising to writing the harvest date by hand on each bottle, is designed to bring you an unparalleled fresh tasting product from our mill to your table.

WHAT OIL IS THIS?

Olio Piro’s 2024 harvest is a highly aromatic and robust Extra Virgin Olive Oil, beautifully balanced with layered flavors. Green almond and fresh herbs lead the way, followed by hints of green banana, artichoke, and nuts, with a lingering black pepper finish. This exceptional oil adds depth and complexity to any dish—drizzle it over roasted vegetables, grilled meats, or antipasti for a refined touch, or combine with an aged balsamic to dress greens and bean salads.

This premium cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, imported fresh from Tuscany offers more than just exquisite taste. With its exceptional levels of antioxidants and polyphenols, Olio Piro brings in a wealth of health benefits, including cardiovascular support, anti-inflammatory properties, brain support and enhanced longevity.
