A Different Kind of Italian Food Company

Olio&Olive began more than 20 years ago with a simple idea: bring authentic Italian ingredients to the United States with the same care and attention they receive in Italy.

Founded by Marco, an Italian native with a deep passion for food, hospitality and the culture that surrounds the Italian table, Olio&Olive started as a specialty olive oil importer and gradually evolved into a curated Italian food company focused on quality, authenticity and education.

Today, our selection includes hundreds of products sourced from Italy — from extra virgin olive oils, balsamic vinegars and artisanal pasta to cheeses, cured meats, olives and regional specialties.

But more importantly, every product is selected with purpose.

More Than an Online Store

We believe that great Italian food starts with ingredients.

That philosophy shapes everything we do, from the products we import to the classes, tastings and educational experiences we host through La Cucina Segreta, our intimate tasting room in Dallas.

Rather than offering thousands of generic products, we focus on thoughtful curation, direct relationships and regional authenticity.

Many of the products we carry come from small Italian producers and family-run companies that still prioritize traditional methods, quality ingredients and regional identity.

Our goal is not simply to sell Italian food.

It is to help people understand why ingredients matter and how they transform the way we cook and eat.

Our Values

  • Carefully Curated

    We focus on products we genuinely believe in — not mass-market imports selected only for price or scale.

  • Rooted in Italy

    Our approach is shaped by real Italian food culture, regional traditions and direct sourcing relationships developed over decades.

  • Built Around Experience

    From olive oil tastings to fresh pasta workshops, we believe food should be experienced, not simply purchased.

La Cucina Segreta

In addition to our online store and showroom, Olio&Olive also hosts private tastings, pasta workshops and collaborative culinary experiences through La Cucina Segreta.

Designed to feel more like an Italian kitchen than a traditional classroom, these experiences allow guests to explore authentic ingredients in a relaxed, intimate setting.

From hands-on pasta making to guided olive oil tastings, our goal is to create experiences that feel personal, educational and genuinely connected to Italian food culture.
