An icon of purity and healthy eating, olive oil is undoubtedly one of the chief ingredients of the Mediterranean diet. Its golden-green color, its delicate but full-bodied aroma and its fruity taste earn olive oil a place of honor in Italian cuisine. At the same time, this precious "pressed fruit" is a remarkable combination of nourishing properties with a positive effect on the human metabolism.
The professional tasters at La Terra Amata select only high quality olive oil. The customers may also choose within a representative range of Italy's regional, origin-certified oils.

Consistently with current food standards, Alifood's first priority is to enhance the development of local territories and to safeguard tradition through the offer of typical regional products.
DOP and IGP are nowadays the only marks capable of guaranteeing the consumer hat the origin of the products offered is certified. Consequently, our oils come only from a few Italian localities which are well known on the market for their food culture and tradition.

Mediterranean landscapes are typically dotted with silvery leaves of olive trees. In Italy there are many varieties of olives, based on characteristics of the region where they have been cultivated for centuries. Therefore we can select our gourmet oils starting from a large range of products, each one embodying local features, flavors and aromas. Color, natural density, low rate of acidity and taste of olive oils are strongly affected by botanic varieties, by microclimates and traditional farming procedures, but even ground properties are relevant. Ideal watering and a mountainous or coastal environment without air pollutants determine the excellence of olives and of the final product.
Olive oil has healthy effects on human metabolism and should be a basic element in cooking, in gourmet foodservice and restaurant cuisine.
La Terra Amata has a staff of professional tasters, who select best olive oils only. We at Alifood also apply stringent quality controls, to guarantee genuineness and goodness of its products.
