Olio Benza

Gigi Benza – company owner

I was born in Imperia, from a family that has been producing extra virgin olive oil from Taggiasca olives since 1700. For as long as I can remember, this sweet, almondy, fresh herb and pine-nut taste accompanies and characterises my life and the life of my family, with whom I build new memories and new experiences, day after day.

The result of this journey are the products I sell in my company!

Images are for illustration purposes only, products may vary in terms of label and packaging.

La Taggiasca

We label the products we produce in our mill with the ‘Taggiasca’ brand, using Taggiasca olives and following our family’s traditional methods.

Orti di Liguria


Orti di Liguria identifies a delicious selection of products cultivated with care and sapience in our vegetable gardens located inland from Imperia. We wait the perfect ripening to process and package immediately, in order to enclose in a practise jars all the taste of the fruit and of the vegetable ripe and juicy….
Because these are artisanal products, the availability is limited.

100% CentoXCento

This label is used to identify traditional Italian food products – the ones that are an absolute must in our pantries.

Italian Specialities

We have always been very careful about quality and look for the best for our everyday recipes.

For this reason, we have decided to accompany our productions with a selection of excellent products, that we use ourselves in family since years.

So you will find a selection of the best Ligurian products and wines, to which are added products from lower Piedmont, which has always been a place of exchanges with Liguria through the ‘Vie del Sale’, such as honeys, hazelnuts, flours, as well as other delicious from the national territory.

Our Gift Box

For special celebrations or on the occasion of ‘special’ feasts, we have created a series of special BOXES that are presented in elegant, solid packages, ready to be given as gifts and sent to the requested address. For some of them, where indicated next to the price, we offer free shipping throughout Italy.

La qualità è la serietà!

27 March 2026

Acquisto olio extravergine d’oliva da Benza Frantoiano da molti anni. Posso dire che la correttezza dell’Azienda e la qualità dei loro prodotti è altissima, cosa non da poco in questi tempi incerti e disordinati! L’olio Benza è delicato con un leggero profumo di pinoli., non pizzica in gola! Il Frantoio Benza è soprattutto competente e ripongo in loro la mia fiducia!

Cucina mediterranea e salute

1 August 2022

La cucina mediterranea associata ad una attività fisica adattata previene la fisiologica riduzione della forza muscolare. L’Olio extravergine di oliva e i suoi polifenoli sono un cardine della dieta se mangiati a crudo. Ecco che il vs olio diventa insostituibile.
