We are incredibly proud to announce a historic milestone: our Cantigallo D.O.P. Molise Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil was featured live on U.S. television, on FOX 5 New York’s popular morning show, Good Day New York.
This prestigious debut was made possible by Fausto Borella, a renowned expert and ambassador of high-quality Italian extra virgin olive oil. He was in New York for the Summer Fancy Food Show, one of the world’s most important food and beverage trade fairs. During the segment, Borella introduced the American audience to the unique characteristics and benefits of authentic Italian EVO, showcasing a selection of the best producers. To our great honor, our iconic hourglass bottle was chosen to represent the excellence of our region.
Cantigallo Olive Oil Takes the Spotlight
Live on air, our Cantigallo D.O.P. Molise Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil was used to dress a fresh salad. The hosts, Rosanna Scotto and Curt Menefee, tasted and appreciated the authentic flavor of the Mediterranean diet: a delicate and balanced taste with a slightly peppery finish.
With a simple and direct approach, Borella shared our youthful strength and beauty with the American audience. Our oil embodies the distinctive bitter and spicy flavors of true cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil from native Italian cultivars.
A Recognition of Our Hard Work and Passion
This extraordinary event is a significant recognition of our daily work and passion. We are proud to have represented Italian excellence and the beauty of our territory—a pristine and authentic corner of Southern Italy. Our commitment continues with even greater determination: to produce genuine products with care and respect for the environment, all while conveying our rural identity.
