Alziari

In the early 1900s Nicolas Alziari realised that wine, coffee and chocolate producers were blending different varieties to create exciting new flavour profiles, which ensured that they stood out from their increasing number of competitors. However, nobody was doing this in the world of olive oil. So, Alziari set off on his travels around Europe, studying in detail different olive varieties. No longer was the company just using local Cailletier olives but began working with different European farms to create a delicious blend that had similar flavour profiles to the oil traditionally found around Nice.

The family behind Alziari work very closely with their partner farms ensuring that they are working at the highest level; no night harvesting is allowed, and the land is being looked after for future generations. With ever more trying weather patterns each year, their close relationships with their farmers become ever more important to help produce the desired quantity and the same flavour profile each year.
