Mazzone Olive Oil
Mazzone Olive Oil is a small family enterprise offering 100% DOP Coratina varietal extra virgin olive oils from the wondrous province of Puglia in southern Italy. Olive oil is their passion and family tradition.
For generations, Mazzone family has been dedicated to the ardent love of olive oil. Based in the heart of Ruvo di Puglia, Italy, they produce some of the finest 100% extra virgin olive oil, exclusively from the Coratina olive. They do not practice any intense cultivation system, but instead hand pick their olives and promptly mill them through a cold-press extraction process. They cherish the care of their groves, respecting their family’s trees, some of which are centuries years old!
Mazzone family closely handle every step of the business process. Their oil is harvested, pressed and bottled in Italy and then imported to United States. They sell their products directly at local farmers markets and at their retail warehouse location.
Their high-quality oils have a very low acidity and are rich in powerful antioxidants. It is for health and benefit of their customers that they continue to reject modern and neglectful, large scale olive oil production processes. The quality of their oils is what makes the flavor so incredibly rich and distinctive. They carry a classic and a colorful line of fresh infused olive oils that playfully allow for a creative culinary experience.
Mazzone Olive Oil offer Mazzone Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Fresh Infused Oils including Lemon, Orange, Garlic, Rosemary, Basil, and Peperoncino. They also supply taralli and specialty spreads such as olive paste and artichoke pestos.

Customer Reviews:
“For years, I’ve shopped at Mazzone’s store and at the Sarasota Farmer’s Market and I have always enjoyed the products, the knowledge of the staff, and the quality of the products. The owners, Mike and Cinzia, are some of the truest and most genuine people I’ve ever met!
However, last night was the first time I’ve ever taken one of their classes; the Limoncello making class. We had a group of 20 and it was an absolute blast! They set out all kinds of Italians meats, cheeses, some side dishes like cucumber and tomato salad, bruschetta, dates wrapped with bacon, frittata, and the most wonderful wine I’ve ever tasted.
After we snacked, sipped, and learned about their goods imported from Puglia, Italy, we all got to participate in the limoncello making. It was fun to learn how to make this iconic after dinner “digestif”. I highly recommend this class for a group activity or team building.” – Holly Dennis
“I’ve driven by a thousand times and never thought much to stop by an olive oil store. But boy oh boy this is so much more! They have the greatest selection of incredible Italian pastas, wines, more and yes olive oil but they also have events! They offered a pasta making Italian dinner and it was simply one of the most fantastic nights ever. We are seated at a family communal table, the Taliara (and I’m never calling it charcuterie ever again!) was overflowing with delicious bites. They served homemade pasta w meat ragu/ sauce. Then they dimmed the lights while we ate and sang Italian songs where we joined in. I felt like I was sitting under the lemon trees in Italy under the glistening stars. This is truly a gem here in Sarasota. I’m thankful they are here. It was such a wonderful evening! I left with olive oils, wine, and chocolate hazelnut spread. And a very full heart. You come in as a customer. But you leave as family. ❤️” – Annie M.
“This local gem has so much more than I thought it would have! Besides the BEST Olive oils, you can get, they have imported foods from Italy, and herbs and spices and even wine tasting! It’s a real find, and I highly recommend you stop in and make this a regular part of your shopping experience! The owners are very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and friendly, and they support other local businesses besides their own, with local jams and spreads. If you need a gift, besides for yourself, they have you covered! I’m going back for an apron, some Italian pottery and more olive oil and Balsamic!” – Joyce Slate
“I love this place! Where do I start? Mazzone Olive Oil is a fantastic local place to host your events! They host wine tasting and authentic olive oil tastings straight from Italy. Amy and the whole team will make you feel like you are part of the family for each visit. I hosted a customer appreciation event just to recommend them to all of my clients! I highly recommend you try this local and authentic Italian store right in Sarasota!! PS, did you know that they do fully organized tours to Italy multiple times a year as well?” Scott Long
