The Art of Puglia: Discovering the World of Galantino Olive Oil
Extra Virgin Olive Oils In Work-Of-Art Bottles
In the heart of Puglia, amidst the sun-drenched landscapes of Bisceglie, lies a sanctuary of Italian tradition: Frantoio Galantino. Since 1926, the Galantino family has been dedicated to the art of olive oil production, transforming a passion for the land into a world-renowned heritage.
Starting with Vito Galantino, who transformed an 19th-century mill into a flourishing olive oil press, three generations have now perfected the craft. Today, Galantino is synonymous with quality, utilising traditional stone millstones alongside modern extraction methods to produce oils that are as beautiful on the outside as they are exquisite on the inside.
At Carluccio’s, we are proud to bring a selection of their most iconic "Ceramiche" (hand-painted ceramics) to your kitchen.
The "Fantasia" Collection: A Splash of Mediterranean Colour
The Fantasia collection is a celebration of Pugliese folk art. These stunning, hand-painted ceramic jars are created by local artisans, making each bottle a unique work of art that deserves a permanent place on your dining table long after the oil has been enjoyed.

Why Galantino?
What sets Galantino apart is their "short supply chain." They oversee every step, from the harvest in their own olive groves to the final bottling in these artisan jars. The oil itself is a classic Pugliese blend—golden-yellow with green reflections, offering a balanced taste that enhances everything from a simple tomato salad to a hearty grilled steak.
When you purchase a bottle of Galantino, you aren't just buying an ingredient; you are bringing a piece of Italian history and a stroke of artisan brilliance into your home.
