Italasia’s selection of suppliers conveys our high regard for these two essential components of traditional Italian cuisine, olive oil and vinegar. From Poggio al Tesoro, this distinctive extra virgin olive oil is of a higher category, obtained from centuries-old olive trees in the Bolgheri area of Tuscany. It offers excellent nutritional value and a firm, well-balanced and medium-fruity character that is ideal for daily culinary uses and stands out richly on simple bruschetta. The hillsides of Valpolicella Classica, between Lake Garda and Verona, the renowned city of love, possess the perfect altitude, temperature and calcium-rich soil that both olive trees and grape vines thrive on. From this area Italasia imports Allegrini’s golden-hued extra virgin olive oil and sublimely aromatic, clear pink Balsamic vinegar.
