ROI has been perfecting Olive products for four generations, since 1900, offering a wide variety of the best possible products. We strive to highlight high-quality Italian and Taggiasca olives with our products, from oils to sauces and the most special creations. The history of the Roi family begins in 1900 when Giuseppe, the great-grandfather "Pepin u Roi", built the first oil mill using the wood and stones of our valley. It is the beginning of a long journey that reaches today, up to Paolo, who with his father spends all his time and passion in the family oil mill. 42 hectares of olive groves in the Argentina valley overlooking the Mediterranean sea, gives our oils unique characteristics linked to the land. Olives have been farmed here since Roman times. Our oil derives exclusively from the first cold pressing of the olives. We use the newest technology without heating the paste or adding hot water, to give our EVOO greater bio nutrition, organoleptic superiority, and better preservation. Producing Ligurian quality oil is an art, but much of the merit is attributed to the variety of plants in the territory that have low acidity, a fruity aroma, and a sweet sensation. This enhances the oil without being intrusive. ## Features - Ligurian Taggiasca Olive Oil: Premium Italian olive oil from Taggiasca olives; imported fresh from Italy; authentic Mediterranean flavor; ideal EVOO for cooking - DOP Olive Oil: Certified PDO Riviera Ligure dei Fiori; extra virgin olive oil 100% Italian origin; Taggiasca cultivar; true artisanal high-quality Italian olive oil - Smooth & Flavorful: Low acidity polyphenol rich olive oil; notes of grass artichoke green apple and olives; velvety texture with subtle dried fruit aftertaste - Created in Italy: Produced on steep terraces overlooking the Mediterranean Sea; cold pressed olive oil capturing Ligurian authenticity; ideal Italian EVOO for gourmet dishes - Delicate & Versatile: Light Ligurian olive oil profile; perfect for raw foods salads and Mediterranean cuisine; polyphenol rich olive oil enhancing flavor without overpowering - Legacy of Ligurian Excellence: ROI blends tradition and innovation; we produce olive oil, spreads, and olives with pits that reflect Italy’s heritage of flavor and craftsmanship ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B001RTIGA4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #706 in Olive Oils | | Item Model Number | 1176 | | Manufacturer | ROI | | Product Dimensions | 4 x 4.25 x 11.25 inches; 2.2 pounds | | Units | 16.91 Fluid Ounces | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ROI - **Flavor:** 100% Taggiasca Olives - **Item Package Quantity:** 1 - **Liquid Volume:** 16.9 Fluid Ounces - **Net Content Volume:** 16.9 Fluid Ounces, 500 Milliliters ## Images ![Italian Taggiasca Extra Virgin Olive Oil DOP - 16.9 fl oz - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Nmh9wocYL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this olive oil actually produced in Italy or just bottled there?** A: Yes, ROI Carte Noire is a DOP olive oil made in Liguria, Italy using 100% Ligurian Taggiasca olives- imported fresh. **Q: How does this compare to Tuscan olive oil in flavor?** A: While Tuscan olive oil is bolder, this Ligurian Taggiasca olive oil is smoother, with fruity and delicate herbal notes. **Q: Is this a good olive oil for drizzling over salads or raw dishes?** A: Absolutely!
