The story begins in 1849 when Andrea Costa, the progenitor of the homonymous Genoese family, started selling olive oil and textiles from Sardinia to Liguria. In the second half of the 19th century, the Costa company specialized in buying raw olive oil in Mediterranean countries with the aim of exporting it overseas. With over 100 years of experience, today Olio Dante S.p.A. is one of the main olive oil producers on the international scene, thanks to its strong presence in a broad range of countries around the world.
Traditional passion for the most authentic flavors and an age-old olive-making tradition drives the work of Olio Dante S.p.A. on a day-to-day basis. Always dedicated to satisfying its consumers and transforming every meal into a unique experience, the company blends craftsmanship, a cornerstone of Italian excellence, with the most modern technology. The constant aim of the Quality Control Laboratory is to ensure, at every step of the production process, the genuineness and healthiness of each Olio Dante product, in complete safety and compliance with rigorous processes certified according to international standards.
