Olio Anfosso Pitted Taggiasca Olives in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 185g

Olio Anfosso Pitted Taggiasca Olives in Extra Virgin Olive Oil are small Ligurian olives with their stones removed, packed in Anfosso’s own extra virgin olive oil. They are sweet, mild and buttery, with none of that harsh bitterness you sometimes get from other olive varieties. The jar is dangerously easy to open while cooking, then half-finish before dinner reaches the table. Is this your first time buying from us?

• Pitted Taggiasca olives from western Liguria
• Packed in fruity extra virgin olive oil
• Sweet, mild flavour with low acidity
• Tender texture, ready for antipasti
• Made by Anfosso, founded in 1945

Use them for an antipasti plate with salami, cheese and bread, or scatter them through pasta with tomatoes, anchovies and herbs. They are lovely on focaccia before baking, in tuna salads, with grilled fish, or spooned over warm roasted vegetables. Keep the oil too. It carries the flavour of the olives and is too good to leave behind in the jar.

Meet the maker: Olio Anfosso

Olio Anfosso comes from Chiusavecchia, a small olive-growing village tucked inland from the Ligurian coast. The Anfosso family has been making extra virgin olive oil here since 1945, when Davide Anfosso began tending a small grove after the war. Three generations later, their oils still carry the gentle, coastal character of western Liguria: soft, fruity, and made for food rather than fuss.

This is the kind of producer that makes you want to slow down and cook simply. Think warm potatoes, grilled fish, bitter leaves, focaccia, or a bowl of beans finished with a bright green pour. Olio Anfosso is rooted in family, stone terraces, and the old olive culture of the Ponente — and that care shows in every bottle.
