Italian chefs' favorite olive oil brand expands access for American home cooks, hosts, and gift-givers nationwide
GLEN ROCK, N.J. and FORLÌ, Italy, Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Olitalia, Italian chefs' favorite* Extra Virgin Olive Oil brand, is now available on Amazon in a 500ml bottle, adding the retailer to a growing U.S. footprint that includes its direct-to-consumer site, usa.olitalia.com, and select specialty grocers in markets across California, New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts.
"Olive oil in Italy isn't just an ingredient; it represents a way of sharing joy at the table. Launching on Amazon brings Olitalia directly into more American kitchens; it's our family's way of sharing our passion for authentic Italian food culture. Every bottle starts with the finest olive varieties, carefully selected and combined into an oil versatile enough for a simple salad, grilled meats, or fresh pasta. We're excited for Americans to experience this balance and quality that sets our oil apart," said Angelo Cremonini, CEO of Olitalia.
Olitalia's Extra Virgin Olive Oil is cold-pressed from Mediterranean olives and blended under the oversight of Marcello Scoccia, Vice President of ONAOO (Organizzazione Nazionale Assaggiatori Olio di Oliva), Italy's national olive oil tasters' association. Each harvest, the varietal selection is adjusted to guarantee the same sensory result bottle to bottle, backed by more than 40,000 internal quality analyses a year and 50 years of collaboration with professional chefs. The oil's flavor profile was developed with U.S. home cooks in mind, refined through consumer taste testing to suit American palates.
"This is just the beginning," said Luca Bombarda, Vice President of Retail Development at Orlando Foods, Olitalia's U.S. importer and distributor. "We're at the start of a long-term project to bring the ingredients professionals use into the homes of consumers, so they can enjoy a restaurant-quality experience at home. We're confident Olitalia meets the growing demand for quality ingredients with a story that resonates."
Olitalia's cobalt blue bottle has become a favorite on countertops and tablescapes, its striking color as much a conversation piece as what's inside. Drizzled over warm, crusty bread, finished over roasted vegetables, or added to a holiday charcuterie spread, the oil moves easily between everyday cooking and entertaining. Once the bottle is empty, it continues to live on. Repurposed by many as a bud vase or oil carafe, it's a gift that keeps giving long after the last pour.
Olitalia is the most purchased and recommended olive oil brand in Italian professional kitchens, according to NielsenIQ research conducted in 2025*. More than a packaging choice, its cobalt blue bottle is an homage to the deep hue of the Mediterranean Sea and the traditional blue glass used in official olive oil tasting. As functional as it is beautiful, the bottle protects the oil's flavor and freshness from light exposure while reinforcing the brand's Italian heritage and culinary credibility. Olitalia's story continues in the details: an olive branch and golden sun nod to the olive oil process and the Mediterranean region where the olives are sourced, while textured lines mirror the sea's waves. The bottle earned a Silver Award for Package Design at the 2025 Davey Awards.
