The Finest Olive Oil Straight from the Farm Press

An ancient olive tree on Lino’s Apulia Farm in Italy

The very best olive oils are first pressings and single estate and Lino Olivieri sells the very finest, extra virgin olive oil available in Dublin at his stand every Saturday. Direct from his own farm in Puglia, Italy, this exceptional quality olive oil has a full-bodied, buttery flavour with dashes of pepper and hints of almonds, wild herbs and vanilla.

Olivieri’s is a family business

An Irish-Italian Family Business

Olivieri’s Fine Italian Foods is an Irish Company with an Italian connection. In 1999 Lino arrived in Ireland for a 3 month English course, got involved with the Organic, Fairtrade and NGO’s movements and worked for Amnesty International’s Irish Section for nearly a decade. Eighteen years later he lives here still with his two beautiful Italian-Irish daughters, Florence and Sophia, his partner Lynn and her son Lucca. He divides his time between here and Italy on his family farm in the National Park of Gargano, Puglia, where he runs an agritourism farm in summer and makes olive oil in winter with his partner,

In 2010, he inherited his family’s olive grove and farm in South Italy, Apulia. The farm cultivates over 1,200 trees that exceed 200 years of age with the olives being cold stone pressed in the traditional manner thereby preserving all the natural goodness of the oil and its precious composition and flavour.

Lino’s Agriturismo Farm in the National Park of Gargano just 6km to the sea and 8km to Vieste.

Making olive oil is hard work, dependent on weather conditions and environmental factors such as plant pests in general and the specific ones like the olive oil fly. But the dedicated producers, nevertheless, return to their roots each winter, to make the oil and bring it back here to sell. A labour of love and a matter of artisanal pride.
