Discover REDORO Fine Italian Olive Oil

The Redoro family of Italy returned to New York City this summer for their annual visit and we joined them to learn about their fine Italian Olive Oil and sample some delicious cuisine from their country. The event was held at Hotel Giraffe Penthouse on Park Avenue South.

Acclaimed restaurateur, Lou Di Palo led the discussion about the excellent qualities of Redoro Olive Oil. Di Palo is well known to gourmands as an Italian food aficionado and President of Di Palo's Fine Foods in Little Italy. His presentation about appreciating and using olive oil was invaluable.

Di Palo pointed out many interesting facts. Out of the twenty regions in Italy, nineteen of them produce olive oil. Olive oil is a staple of the healthy Mediterranean diet. People who regularly use olive oil for cooking should know that it should only be heated up to 350-degrees. At higher heats, the taste and healthy benefits are compromised. When storing olive oil, it should be kept in a cool dark space and used within 18 months of bottling. DiPaolo also commented that the color of olive oil does not determine its quality.

The name Redoro is a clever combination the names Regina and Isidoro, the family founders of the renowned brand that originated in 1895. The Redoro farm estate is found in the Grezzana area north or Verona and set in the midst of the lush green Valpantena valley. For more than 100 years, this traditionally run family business has dedicated their love and passion to the cultivation of olives and to the production of the highest quality Extra-Virgin Olive Oil. The entire production of their products is run from the original Grezzana family estate and from Mezzane, a seventeenth century oil mill where the old stone grinding mills have been restored without altering their original construction.

There are distinctive processes that are used to create Redoro's high quality olive oil. They use 100% Italian Olives that are non-GMO. The olives are handpicked and carefully selected. Olives are cold pressed using the artisan method under direct control. The product is also certified for its geographic origin.
