It’s hard to believe I’ve been bringing in Amelia Oil to Vancouver since 2007. When my daughter Rachel persuaded me to start this importing business, I quite honestly didn’t know much about olive oil. She kept saying that there really wasn’t much in the way of fresh olive oil available in North America, and that [...]

  Some things are worth waiting for we are told. Our new oil is anxiously expected to arrive this week in Vancouver. It seemed to take a bit longer getting here this year which was no reflection on our team in Amelia, Umbria. Francesco had it ready to go early in the new year but we [...]

When we first started this business in 2006 and received our first batch of oil from the folks in Amelia in January, we realized immediately how lucky we were to be tasting a fresh product which most people in North America will never experience. The new oil is intense tasting and bursting with flavour. You [...]

Last Sunday, I spent a wonderful afternoon at Southlands Farms Market, where Jordan Maynard and family run a neighbourhood farm-gate business in the middle of Vancouver’s urban horse country.

It’s nearly barbecue season and extra virgin olive oil from Amelia Oil is the perfect way to finish grilled meat and veggies. It may seem that there is nothing more simple and tastier than grilling; however, having top quality ingredients is the key to success. We suggest Sebastian & Co. Fine Organic Meats on Marine [...]

I’ve always had a hard time with extremely expensive olive oil because I think this is a product that should be used and enjoyed on a daily basis. It is an excellent dietary choice and it makes most food taste wonderful. It should not be so expensive that you just want to save it for [...]

The wonderful 2009 Amelia Oil is heading towards North America. We are expecting to receive our shipment in within the next two weeks. We only have limited quantities of olive oil so be sure to order early. Francesco has told me that this is an exceptional year for quality.
