My husband Jake and I love food. That's no surprise to anyone who knows us. Della Terra for us was a no brainer. As a first generation Canadian-born Italian, good quality olive oil was – and is – an integral part of our lives. It is not only a staple in our kitchen but part of our DNA. Foraging, preserving and homesteading connects us to our heritage and has instilled a deep appreciation for knowing not only where our food comes from but more importantly, what is in it.

Flavour for many is a constant evolution. We all have different seasons for different flavours and moods. I always joke that Jake is a real-life Remy (from Ratatouille) who is obsessed with discovering new flavour combinations and recipes. So, as you can imagine - our kitchen is one big science experiment - now more than ever.

As we continue to grow we are forever grateful to all of our customers, friends, family and community of small Canadian businesses who support us - we love OLIVE of you... (sorry but I had to). As we continue to grow we look forward to sharing the love by supporting fellow Canadian businesses in our little shop as we always have.

buon appetito!
Tina Lanzillotta & Jake Elstone
