Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Puglia, Italy

In 2016 Shannon met the lovely De Vitis family in Lecce, located in the southern Puglia region of Italy. Their olive farm is part of the national forest called RAUCCIO, and they produce incredible cold-pressed organic extra virgin olive oil. Shannon returned to Puglia in 2023, spending several days at the De Vitis farm learning more about the family’s history in olive oil production. Shannon is one of very few persons in the U.S. that imports De Vitis olive oil, and it sells quickly in her cooking classes and Italian dinners. Use it as a finishing oil on salad greens, vegetables, bread, and pasta. Also, drizzle it over vegetables and potatoes before roasting. You will absolutely love this oil!
