Welcome to Libellula
Nestled in the hills outside Rome lie some of the oldest olive groves in Italy. The air is clean and dragonflies dance through the branches; expanses of olive trees are intertwined with trees growing cherries and peaches.
Here Libelulla is cultivating Rome's Liquid Gold – an extraordinary Extra Virgin Olive Oil that nourishes people and the planet.
