The new Olio di Roma PGI EVOO is made with olives sourced from the Lazio region in Italy, taking the name from its capital, Rome. Its color ranges from green to golden yellow. The scent is fresh and herbaceous, with almond, tomato, and artichoke notes. PGI stands for Protected Geographical Indication certification, a legal guarantee of origin.

Bellucci is distributed in the USA by Catalan Gourmet, a NY-based company specializing in gourmet foods, and offers a portfolio of organic and fully traceable EVOOs from Italy. Thanks to the integration of Oracle's blockchain technology for traceability, customers can access information about each oil's geographical origin, harvest, and production journey.

Through a collaboration with ClimatePartner, Bellucci committed to compensating carbon emissions for some of its best-selling olive oils, the Toscano PGI EVOO and the Italian Organic EVOO, while working to reduce its footprint along the supply chain, from cultivation to packaging.
