IL FRANTOIO — LA BOUTIQUE DELL’OLIO
  • Via San Vincenzo 158
  • Genova
  • tel 010/591725
This shop, near the Brignole station and the excellent Mercato Orientale in Genoa, is one of the best sources I know for Ligurian products, especially olive oil. If you are unable to visit local producers but happen to be in Genoa, this is the place to come. They also sell sauces and vegetables in jars, plus excellent jams made of Ligurian fruit. The store is typically shut for most of August.
