Born from the sun-drenched olive groves of Lazio, Terre Nostre's Roma IGP selection represents the "Green Heart" of Italian tradition. Terre Nostre oils come from Montalbano Agricola Alimentare Toscana SpA, one of Italy's largest and most respected producers of "liquid gold". You can be sure that every drop is cold-extracted from 100% Italian olives within hours of harvest, preserving the vibrant polyphenols and fresh aroma of Italy’s finest cultivars.
Taste Profile: Roma IGP EVOO has bitterness and pungency of medium intensity, which is combined with vegetal notes of green tomato, artichoke and Italian herbs. It is pressed from predominantly Itrana, Carboncella, Leccino, Moraiolo, Caninese, Salviana, Rosciola, Marina, Sirole, Maurino, Pendolino, and Frantoio varietals. These are the only varietals allowed by Italian law to earn the Roma IGP seal.
This oil is clear with light green to golden yellow hues. On the nose, you’ll find it to be fruity, with distinct notes of tomato and artichoke and hints of almond and oregano.
How It's Good For You: Terre Nostre Roma IGP EVOO is rich in polyphenols, which are antioxidants that help support cellular and heart health. The olives pressed to make it are known to contain high levels of polyphenols.
By replacing saturated fats with high-polyphenol EVOO, you are embracing a heritage of wellness that supports healthy lipid profiles and cellular integrity. Terre Nostre brings this staple directly to your table, offering the same vibrant, nutrient-dense oil that has fueled the longevity of the Roman people for generations.
Packaging: 500ml dark-tinted glass to protect the oil from harmful sunlight. A clear bottle left in direct sunlight can lose up to 40% of its antioxidant power in just a few weeks, even if the seal is never broken.
Trust: IGP stands for Indicazione Geografica Protetta (Protected Geographical Indication). In the world of Italian olive oil, it is one of the most powerful trust signals you can have on a bottle. Each bottle is stamped with the government-issued Roma IGP seal, plus carries a QR code that you can scan to see exactly which farm grew the olives and which mill pressed them.
Acidity: less than 0.4% (legal limit for extra virgin olive oil 0.8%).
Recommended Pairings: This oil was born for the Roman table. Use it to finish a Cacio e Pepe, drizzle it over grilled artichokes (Carciofi alla Romana), or pair it with sharp, aged Pecorino Romano for a simple yet profound appetizer.
