Galateo & Friends
Galateo & Friends
Located in the hills of Liguria, where Taggiasca olives account for 98% of the region's production, it’s no surprise that Galateo & Friends have chosen this variety, which is practically synonymous with northwestern Italy, to produce their monovarietal extra virgin olive oil.
Galateo & Friends was founded in 2002 by Marco Bonaldo, and operates under the philosophy that "goodness is enclosed in beauty." This belief is reflected in their numerous collaborations with their ‘friends’, renowned artists and designers who illustrate their bottles, as well as with some of gastronomy’s most respected figures, including Alain Ducasse and Massimo Bottura.
The word Galateo, coming from Renaissance courtesy book Il Galateo by Florentine writer Giovanni della Casa, entered the Italian lexicon centuries ago as a general term for social etiquette. Embracing this tradition of quality and refinement, Galateo’s bottles have become iconic symbols of art and fine food, laying on the tables of some of the world's finest restaurants.
