Olieria

Bologna’s first shop dedicated purely to extra-virgin olive oil, on via Saragozza, run with real passion by Fabio Giurgola. Think of it as an enoteca for oil: more than fifty labels from fourteen Italian regions to taste and compare, alongside oil-preserved foods, pâtés, pickles, olives and even olive-oil cosmetics. Stop in for a guided tasting and you’ll never look at supermarket oil the same way — and you’ll leave with a bottle worth carrying home.

While you’re in the city, pair it with a Bologna food walking tour.
