Olio Piro: Tuscan Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Cold Pressed

Brother-and-sister team Romain and Marie-Charlotte Piro have made olive oil a family affair. Their namesake oil arrived in the United States only in 2020, but the Tuscan groves where they harvest and bottle their award-winning extra virgin olive oil are over 300 years old.

Tuscan tradition, modern craft

To many, Olio Piro became one of the most talked-about premium extra virgin olive oils practically overnight. The Piro siblings know the success was years in the making, built on Romain's dedication to cultivation, experimentation and hard work. The result is a balanced blend of Tuscan tradition and modern innovation.

With decades of experience growing olives, Romain has evolved his techniques over time, fusing old-world knowledge with a forward-thinking approach. Determined to challenge the status quo, he brought technology and scientific research to his craft. The recognition followed: Olio Piro earned seven consecutive Gold Awards at the NYIOOC, one of the world's most prestigious olive oil competitions, and has been highly rated in guides like Flos Olei, often called the Michelin Guide of extra virgin olive oil. Small-batch production adds to the allure.

Marie-Charlotte joined Romain as CEO, helping to grow the brand and build partnerships with some of the top restaurants in America. Eleven Madison Park and Cipriani are among those that swear by the bold yet balanced oil.

What sets it apart

Unlike most extra virgin olive oils, Piro's olives are cold pressed within hours of harvest to prevent oxidation. An advanced, multi-step filtering process adapted from winemaking then reduces impurities, extends shelf life and maintains the integrity of the oil's flavor. This mix of traditional processes and new techniques has made Olio Piro a favorite ingredient of top chefs and home cooks alike.

Polyphenols and antioxidants

Beyond its flavor, Olio Piro has one of the highest polyphenol levels among olive oils on the market, and it is high in natural antioxidants. The potential health benefits of the oil, including cardiovascular support, anti-inflammatory properties and cognitive wellness, have added to its popularity among health-conscious customers.

The Piro family represents a new generation of olive oil makers, committed to quality, health and exquisite flavor. Stop by our stores or order online to find a bottle of Olio Piro.
