Our Standard

The Deliba Transparency Framework

The US olive oil market has a transparency problem. Most brands don't publish lab data, don't disclose harvest dates, and don't reveal their actual origin. Deliba was built to solve this — with four non-negotiable commitments on every bottle.

01

Lab Verified

Every harvest is independently tested by an accredited Italian laboratory. Polyphenol count, acidity, and peroxide value are publicly available as downloadable PDF certificates — not self-reported.

02

Harvest Date First

Every bottle carries the exact harvest date. Polyphenols degrade roughly 40% per year. Without a harvest date, you cannot know if the oil you're buying still has active phenolic compounds.

03

Single-Origin Calabria

All Deliba oil comes exclusively from the Cosmano family estate in Molochio. No blending, no multi-region sourcing, no industrial intermediaries. One farm, one territory, one family.

04

Closed Supply Chain

From grove to your door — we control every step. Gianfranco manages production in Italy; Deliba Food Inc. handles importation and US distribution. No third-party sourcing at any point.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Deliba?
Deliba is a family-owned single-origin olive oil brand from Molochio, Southern Italy. We grow, harvest, cold-press, and ship our own extra virgin olive oil — with full transparency: independent lab verification, published harvest dates, and a closed supply chain from our estate in Calabria to customers in the United States.
Who owns and produces Deliba olive oil?
Deliba is owned and operated by the Cosmano family — Gianfranco, Carmine, and Ivana — the children of founder Francesco Cosmano, who started the grove in Molochio in the 1960s. Gianfranco serves as CEO of Deliba Food Inc. (US) and manages production in Italy. Carmine oversees cultivation and harvest on the family estate.
What does "single-origin" mean for Deliba?
It means every drop of oil in every bottle comes exclusively from the Cosmano family estate in Molochio. We do not source from other producers, we do not blend with oils from other regions, and we do not use industrial intermediaries. The olives, the press, and the bottling are all on or near the same land in Calabria.
What is the Transparency Framework?
The Deliba Transparency Framework is a proprietary four-pillar quality standard developed by Gianfranco Cosmano: (1) independent lab verification with public PDF certificates, (2) declared harvest date on every bottle, (3) single-origin Calabrian purity with no blending, and (4) a closed supply chain from grove to consumer. It is a response to the lack of traceability in the US olive oil market.
Does Deliba supply olive oil to L-Nutra?
Yes. Deliba supplies extra virgin olive oil to L-Nutra — Dr. Valter Longo's longevity nutrition company — in both US and EU markets. This is a functional supply relationship built on origin verification and polyphenol quality, not a co-marketing arrangement. The same oil available directly through Deliba goes into L-Nutra's research-backed protocols.
Where does Deliba ship?
Deliba ships to the United States from our 3PL partner warehouse. Orders are processed through Deliba Food Inc. Shipping options and costs are shown at checkout. For bulk or gifting inquiries, contact us directly.
