Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
This exquisite extra virgin from Liguria is made from the small and tender Taggiasca olive, one of the most sought after olives in Italy. The oil is pressed after a late harvest, from family-owned and maintained trees, some of which are up to 400 years old. The result: A smooth, buttery, all-purpose oil praised by chefs round the world.
La Bella Angiolina
La Bella Angiolina, the product line's namesake, was a Ligurian folk heroine said to have created locally-based recipes so delicious that she was nicknamed "the beautiful little angel." Equally faithful to local gastronomic traditions, Luca Bastieri and his family proudly use their own, manually-harvested Taggiasca olives--some picked from trees over 400 years old--along with fresh ingredients from the Italian Riviera to create a varied line of regional delicacies, including savory pestos, condiments, and D.O.P. extra virgin olive oil.
Ron Post and Ilyse Rathet of Ritrovo
For six years, Ritrovo founders Ron Post and Ilyse Rathet lived in Italy, studying, traveling, and researching indigenous foods and wines. Along the way, they met and gradually built relationships with talented, small-scale producers throughout the country. Ilyse and Ron also developed a passion for the products they found. These foods came to "tell a story"-- of centuries-old traditions, the value of diversity, and the implications of supporting small farm production.
This rare gem among Italian olive oils is soft and velvety and is almost sweet to the taste, with an almond flavor. It's great on salads or seafood, or for pinzimonio "veggie dips." It's also prized in making pesto. If you're looking for a truly classic olive oil, this is it.

It is out of this passion that Ritrovo Italian Regional Foods LLC was created. Years later, the founders continue their passionate search for new producers and products. They bring these discoveries directly to you, "from farm to table."
Upon tasting a Ritrovo import selection you immediately discover high quality and authenticity. Ritrovo's focused, fresh flavors evoke images of special places and preserved culinary traditions. In total, Ritrovo imports over 150 such discoveries from the length and breadth of Italy. The selections featured on Amazon.com are a showcase of the delicious discoveries Ritrovo has made.
The word Ritrovo denotes a reunion or "gathering again" of friends, family, or colleagues. In regional parlances such as Tuscan or northeastern Friulian, a ritrovo is a place where people come to eat, drink, and be merry. Additionally, the verb ritrovare means "to find again" something once lost. These three concepts weave into what Ritrovo is all about: High quality food and relaxed, socially-based dining are fundamental to human life.
