Handcrafted 100% Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Oil of the Popes: A Legacy of Excellence

Our journey began with a deep love for the roots and the earth. For generations, we have dedicated ourselves to crafting premium quality olive oil, upholding a tradition that continues to this day.

Since 1863, the Sperlonga family has tended to the olive groves inherited from their ancestors. Domenico Sperlonga, the founder, and his son Alexander, both applied their fathers' secret methods to ensure the highest standards. Now, the third generation, represented by Domenico Sperlonga's grandson, proudly carries on the family's legacy, striving to maintain excellence and share the fruits of their rich heritage with customers worldwide.

L'Olio dei Papi, our Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil, is the result of a meticulous selection process. It is obtained exclusively from olive groves that have demonstrated the best symbiosis with the land over centuries. This oil is fully traceable, providing you with a complete overview of its quality and history, allowing you to verify the entire production process, from the tree to your table.

Inspired by the stories of the elders in Lower Latium, who spoke of the popes' fondness for the oil from these lands, we conducted a historical study that confirmed these accounts. The popes valued our oil so much that they encouraged the cultivation of olive trees in the southern regions of the Papal States. Driven by this legacy, we have selected a premium quality oil that recaptures the ancient flavors beloved in Papal Rome and appreciated as early as the 18th century.

This supply chain agreement combines the tradition of olive growing with modern production, adhering to all international food safety standards. The result is an oil with a unique taste and an unparalleled history.

L'Olio dei Papi, our award-winning Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil, has consistently been recognized for its excellence. From the NYIOOC 2024 Award to numerous other accolades, our oil has proven its superior quality, making it the perfect choice for your culinary adventures.
