Libellula Riserva Olive Oil

Perfect for bruschetta, soups, and red meat

Like all Libellula extra virgin olive oil, our 375ml glass bottle of Riserva is grown, pressed, and bottled by our collective of Italian family farmers in the hills just outside Rome.

The Riserva is our limited-release, early harvest. When they are picked and pressed in October, Riserva olives have not yet reached peak ripeness. This means we can only extract a small amount of extra virgin olive oil – but this also means it is incredibly antioxidant-rich and packed with peppery, herbaceous flavor!

The olives’ concentration of polyphenols and antioxidants in the Riserva is between 500 and 600 mg/kg, whereas typical extra virgin olive oil only has about 100-150mg/kg.

Riserva flavor notes: bright, herbaceous, spicy, undertones of walnut

Chef recommended pairings: bruschetta, soups, red meat

About the Brand - Libellula
Libellula is a collective of family farmers in the hills just outside of Rome. Julia and Camillo founded Libellula to save small-scale Italian olive farmers who were abandoning their groves due to the challenges of climate change.

By coming together as a collective, we pool our knowledge and resources, working with our farmers to implement climate-resilient agriculture practices. This ensures each farmer has the support to keep their olive groves for many more generations to come – and share their exquisite extra virgin olive oil with those beyond just their small towns!

Because of our regenerative farming, Libellula is 3-6 times higher in polyphenols and antioxidants than typical extra virgin olive oil. *Women-Owned
