Olive groves situated on the lush bank of the Italian Riviera, were planted by the ancestors of the Ranise family who now cultivate these trees that bear sun-ripened Taggiasca olives. Small with a distinctly deep red color, these olives are sweet and mild and make a fantastically delicate and fruity oil. Lightly piquant with a sweet elegant flavor and a long hazelnut finish, you’ll smell and taste a delicate aroma of almonds and green tomato, too. Light and smooth, this extra-virgin olive oil with a D.O.P. status (which stands for Denominazione di Origine Protetta, or Protected Denomination of Origin -- a certification of quality that meet strict production standards) evokes subtle tastes from cuisine and will raise the quality of your meals.

Use it as a dipping sauce, in marinades for meat, chicken or fish, or drizzle it on fresh raw vegetables and fruits.

Fairway Marketplace is brought to you by Fairway Market, a specialty food chain that started back in 1933 with a small fruit and vegetable stand on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Today, Fairway Market is legendary for its experts and expertise in all things food, and a relentless obsession with quality throughout all of the different departments in its stores. In December of 2011, Fairway launched this online shop, so that we could bring the best of the best of what Fairway offers, at the same great values, to those who don’t live near one of our stores. Why keep all of this foodie goodness to ourselves? That simply would not be fair.
