The Ligurian family that has safeguarded the Taggiasca olive for five generations

By: Patrizia Ferlini

The Taggiasca olive is one of those products that immediately conjures up Liguria. A key player in traditional recipes such as coniglio alla ligure and stoccafisso accomodato, it is also the undisputed queen of extra virgin olive oil production. Widespread in the western area of the region, it takes its name from the town of Taggia.

Today it is the jewel in the crown of the Roi family, who since 1900 have been producing quality olive oil while also developing innovative and original ideas. Not just oil, then, but also vegetable creams, fish-based condiments, herbal teas and even something unexpected: Taggiasco Gin.
