Guardian of the groves, he oversees cultivation and harvest with patience and care.
Our Father Taught Us to Listen to the Trees
In southern Italy, in the hills of Calabria, lies the small village of Molochio. Here we still harvest and press as our father did—bottling a single-origin Italian EVOO that carries our family’s values and the vitality of a Blue Zone.
Family story — since the 1960s
Who We Are
Deliba began with our father, Francesco Cosmano, in Italy. On the hills of southern Calabria, near the small village of Molochio, he taught us to harvest with patience and to press with care. Today we still work the same land, crafting a single-origin EVOO that speaks our family’s language: respect, honesty, and devotion.
We grow our own olives, hand-pick at the right moment, and cold-press within hours. No blends, no shortcuts—just the flavor of our season bottled at the source.
Territory — Italy, Southern Italy, Calabria
Rooted in Calabria’s Blue Zone
Our olive groves grow in Italy, in southern Calabria, near the small village of Molochio—a place associated with longevity. Rocky soils, sea breezes from the Tyrrhenian coast, and cool nights shape our native cultivars and give Deliba its fresh, peppery character.
Here, extra virgin olive oil isn’t a trend; it’s a daily ritual. We harvest at the right moment and cold-press within hours to preserve aromas and vitality—bottling an EVOO that speaks of land, season, and family.

Shop Deliba Olive OilFrequently Asked Questions
Answers shaped by our family story — from Italy, in southern Calabria, near the village of Molochio.
Where does Deliba olive oil come from?
Every bottle begins in Italy, in southern Calabria, near Molochio.
These are the groves our father planted in the 1960s. We still harvest by hand, bottling our family’s story for your table.
What makes your oil part of a Blue Zone lifestyle?
In Molochio people live long, healthy lives. A daily ritual of fresh EVOO is part of it. We harvest early and cold-press within hours to help preserve natural
polyphenols associated with vitality — honoring a tradition proven by generations.
Do you blend oils from different producers?
Never. Deliba is single-origin. We cultivate, harvest, and press our own olives — no outside sourcing, no industrial blends. That’s why our EVOO tastes alive and traceable.
How do you guarantee freshness and quality?
Early hand-harvest; cold-pressed within hours; inert storage; dark bottles.
Each season we share lab values (polyphenols & acidity) for transparency — quality you can read, not just feel.
What does your oil taste like?
Vibrant and green: notes of fresh grass, artichoke, almond, with a gentle peppery finish.
That tickle in the throat? It’s the sign of potent antioxidants at work.
How should I use Deliba EVOO every day?
Drizzle on salads, warm bread, grilled vegetables; finish soups and fish — or a spoonful in the morning.
In Calabria, EVOO isn’t just cooking fat; it’s a daily gesture of flavor and care.
When do you harvest and how often do you bottle?
We harvest in autumn, early for greener profiles. Bottling happens in small batches through the year so your oil arrives fresh — not stored for ages like many supermarket bottles.
Why choose Deliba over a supermarket EVOO?
With us, you know the family, the land, and the trees behind your oil.
Supermarkets sell labels; we share our heritage — Italy, Calabria, Molochio — in every drop.
Do you ship to the United States?
Yes. We ship to the USA farmer-direct. Shipping options and duties are shown at checkout. For gifting or larger orders, contact us — we’re here to help.
What is your return policy?
If something isn’t right, we’ll make it right — refund or replacement according to policy.
That’s how family treats family.
