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.
