Choose the right bottle for how you cook
Deliba produces two single-origin extra virgin olive oils from the same estate in Molochio, Southern Italy. They share the same origin, the same lab standard, and the same supply chain — but they are different oils for different uses.
Ottobratico
Native Ottobratica cultivar, harvested in October at peak polyphenol concentration. Bold, peppery, assertive — fresh grass and artichoke on the nose, with a pronounced oleocanthal burn at the back of the throat. The Ottobratico is designed to be tasted, not cooked away.
Use it raw: drizzled over legumes, soups, grilled fish, salads, or warm bread after cooking. A tablespoon straight from the bottle is how Molochio locals have consumed this oil for generations.
Sinopolese
Native Sinopolese cultivar, harvested later in the season for a rounder, more versatile profile. Balanced, fruity, approachable — lighter on the pepper, more forgiving across a range of foods and cooking methods.
The everyday oil that works from morning to evening: on eggs at breakfast, in salad dressings at lunch, in the pan at dinner. Handles moderate heat without losing character. The oil that disappears into the food in the best way.
What makes these bottles different
The premium EVOO market is full of beautiful labels and vague claims. Here is what Deliba bottles actually deliver — verifiable, documented, and consistent across every production batch.
Independent lab certification
Every batch is sent to an accredited Italian laboratory before release. The Certificate of Analysis — with total polyphenol count, free acidity, peroxide value, and individual phenolic compounds — is available on each product page and in the lab report archive. No batch number without a matching COA.
Harvest date on every bottle
"Best by" dates tell you nothing about when the oil was pressed. Deliba declares the harvest month and year on every bottle. The 2025/26 Ottobratico was harvested in October 2025. The Sinopolese in November–December 2025. You know exactly how old the oil is — not the bottle.
Single estate, no blending
Both varieties come exclusively from the Cosmano family estate in Molochio, Calabria region of Southern Italy. Not "Product of Italy" from multiple farms and countries. One estate, one family, one harvest per year — traceable to the field.
Pressed within 4 hours of harvest
Polyphenols begin degrading immediately after picking. Transport time to a mill is the most common source of quality loss in commercial production. The Cosmano estate presses on-site — there is no transport time between harvest and press.
Two-entity closed supply chain
CIDEG (Italian production, Molochio) → Deliba Food Inc. (U.S. importer, New Jersey) → you. No brokers, no intermediary warehouses, no third-party handling. The same family that presses the oil imports and distributes it.
Free shipping over $157
All orders over $157 ship free to the U.S. Orders are fulfilled from Deliba Food Inc. in New Jersey. Delivery typically 3–5 business days after dispatch. Each shipment includes the batch number and COA reference for the oil in the box.
Two generations.
One standard.
Carmine Cosmano began cultivating olive trees in Molochio in 1967. His son Gianfranco founded Deliba Food Inc. to bring the same oil — from the same estate, the same native varieties — directly to the U.S. market without intermediaries.
The supply chain is two entities: the family farm in Molochio (CIDEG) and Deliba Food Inc. in New Jersey. When you order a bottle, it moves from their hands to yours — and no one else handles it in between.
Molochio, Southern Italy — where the oil comes from
The Cosmano family has farmed olive trees in Molochio since 1967. The village sits at 450 meters above sea level in the Aspromonte mountains — a UNESCO Global Geopark — on the Tyrrhenian side of the Calabrian range. The same hills studied by USC longevity scientist Dr. Valter Longo. The same place featured in National Geographic in 2013 for its extraordinary concentration of centenarians.

The Aspromonte microclimate — volcanic soils, altitude-induced water stress, cool nights — concentrates polyphenols in the fruit naturally. The Ottobratica cultivar is indigenous to this province and is not grown commercially outside Calabria. The combination of native variety and specific terroir is what produces oil consistently above 600 mg/kg total polyphenols.
This is not a polyphenol number engineered through processing. It is the result of the right variety, grown in the right place, harvested at the right moment, and pressed before the numbers drop. The lab report documents what the land already produced.

Gianfranco Cosmano — co-founder of Deliba — grew up in Molochio. Deliba Food Inc. is the U.S. entity he operates personally from New Jersey. When you order a bottle, it moves from his family's estate to your door through two entities and no one else.
Both varieties are from the 2025/26 harvest — October and November–December. Independent lab certificates are available on each product page. Free shipping on orders over $157.
