Olioliva - New Oil Festival

Liguria's Green Gold Celebrated

Olioliva is the festival celebrating extra virgin olive oil, a symbolic product of Liguria and particularly the province of Imperia, home of the Taggiasca olive. Every November, coinciding with the olive pressing, the historic centre of Oneglia transforms into a grand showcase for new oil and the territory's food and wine excellences.

Among Arcades and Producer Stands

The characteristic arcaded streets of Oneglia fill with producer stands, markets of typical products, tastings, and show cooking. It's the perfect opportunity to taste the freshly pressed oil, meet the millers, and directly purchase specialties from the Riviera dei Fiori, from oil to olives, from baked goods to local wines.

Culture and Taste

Olioliva is more than just a market: the event offers meetings, workshops, and in-depth sessions on olive-growing culture, oil quality, and tasting techniques. It's a way to introduce the public to the world of extra virgin olive oil with awareness, valuing the work of local producers.

Imperia's November Event

Part of Imperia's autumn calendar, Olioliva is one of the most important food and wine events in western Liguria. An occasion that combines taste, tradition, and territorial identity, celebrating one of the products that best tells the agricultural story of the Riviera dei Fiori.
