Monocultivar olive oil
Olio Desiderio
We love olive oil as much as we love wine here at Terra Madre! The Rinaldi family of Piemonte has been in the olive oil business for over 70 years. We are delighted to be in partnership with Noemi Rinaldi, as the first and only Olio Desiderio importer in the US! Noemi is a young member of the new generation of the family who is working to take the company to the next level with high quality, artisanal blended and monoculture oils, Sicilian anchovies packed in olive oil, and Piemontese artisanal products. Since they are so unusual and are of high quality, the monoculture (single olive variety) oils are particularly special. We were thrilled to meet Noemi and her father Sergio this spring, who welcomed us to their grand warehouse and tasting room in Diana d’Alba where we saw firsthand the hard work that goes into each bottle of oil. The Rinaldi family guarantees the highest level of quality by overseeing every stage of the production chain, from olive grove to the last stage of processing.

Meet our 6th and newest Monocultivar---Il Denocciolato
Il Denocciolato olive oil is the newest monocultivar to the Olio Desiderio portfolio of extra virgin olive oils. Denocciolato is the Italian word for "pitted"; in this unique olive oil the pit is removed before pressing the olives. The highest quality Nocellara del Belice olives from Sicily are used. This is a very special product, very few producers have of this type of oil. It has a smooth and sweet flavor, but with a strong structure that does not overshadow the taste of more delicate dishes. It is perfect for any time of cooking, although to fully appreciate the flavor, it is recommended to use raw.
A taste of Italian culinary excellence & tradition
Introducing Balsamic Vinegar from Antica Acetaia Mandrio!
Produced in the countryside of Reggio Emilia, Italy, the Acetaia has over one hundred years of history and was founded by current owner Anselmo’s great-great-grandfather. 🍇The selection of grapes, typical of the region (including varieties such as Trebbiano, Lambrusco, Salamino, and Ancellotta from their vineyards called Ponte Amarena) reflects the expertise accumulated over generations in this field. These grapes are cultivated and harvested by the family of skilled farmers in their own vineyards. On the same day of harvest, they undergo pressing and cooking, following a seamless workflow. In the vineyard, the harvest is entirely done by hand, with grapes carefully selected in the moment. No machines are used; instead, they rely on the meticulous work of human hands. This attention to detail is reflected in the final result: a grape harvest that has never been mechanically pulled, but rather handpicked with care and passion. Packaging is entirely artisanal, ensuring maximum attention and dedication to the creation of products of the highest quality.
