The Way To Italy - Favorite Olive Oils 2025
Below is a list of The Way To Italy favorite olive oils for the 2025 harvest - updated from 2021. Most olive orchards (85%) and all of the sources listed below rely solely on water from nature to feed their trees. No irrigation. They say this year's yield will be lower than last year's, which was already less than the previous year's, due to Mother Nature.
Keep in mind, every purchase helps these small family businesses below. I have personally sampled all the oils (and visited most of the mills) from the list during my time in Italy.

Sometimes I look for interesting information, reviews, or expert commentary because someone drops a link in a group—they are genuinely engaging, but sometimes you read through an article and find such useful links neatly woven right inside the text. For example, I recently came across a great overview on platforms like https://www.politolog.net.ua/ and htpps://deribasovskaya.net
rr88 mình cũng kiểu nghe mọi người nhắc hoài nên bấm vào xem thử cho biết chứ không định tìm hiểu sâu. Vừa vào thấy trang làm khá “dễ thở”, không nhồi nhét quá nhiều thứ một lúc nên mắt đỡ mệt. Mình thích nhất là cách họ chia nội dung thành từng khối riêng, nhìn phát là biết phần nào ra phần đó, kéo xuống cũng không bị lạc. Mấy chỗ hiển thị thông tin dạng bảng cột nhìn gọn gàng, liếc nhanh vẫn nắm được ý chính. Thanh menu đặt khá nổi nên chuyển qua lại giữa các mục không phải mò, cảm giác thao tác mượt và ít rối. Nói chung lướt vài phút thôi mà thấy…
