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.

Our Classico Extra Virgin Olive Oil comes from olives of the Leccino variety from our autumn 2020 harvest.
We harvest the olives in November, when they have reached peak ripeness, and then press them within 24 hours. In this way, none of the oil's antioxidants, vitamins, and other unique properties are lost.
And thanks to the “cold pressing” production process, the acidity level is maintained between 0.6 and 0.8%, ensuring a smooth profile and texture.
