Olio Calvi

In 1921 Giuseppe Calvi and his brother Paolo, born into a family of olive growers, started an olive oil business in Oneglia, on the western Ligurian Riviera. Two years later Oneglia merged with Porto Maurizio to form the town of Imperia.

The company is still run by the family, today by Gianni and Luca Calvi. The head office and bottling plant have always been in Via Garessio in Imperia, while the mill is in Pontedassio, among the olive groves of the Oneglia valley.

The house specialty is the Taggiasca olive, native to western Liguria: delicate oils, including Riviera Ligure PDO, alongside Ligurian pantry classics such as Genovese pesto, pitted Taggiasca olives and olive paté.
