Company description

Strippaggio sells premium Extra Virgin Olive Oils and Barrel-Aged Balsamic Vinegars.  We have over 20 products that are incredibly delicious and used in virtually every part of a meal, from appetizers to the main event to dessert.  Our purpose is to help every level cook - from beginner to executive chef to everywhere in between - make healthy foods, along with all foods, simply taste better. Simply put, people are happy when their food tastes good!

We are a husband and wife team who were customers of Strippaggio for 7 years. We loved the products so much that when the company came up for sale we bought it!  We love talking food and recipes with customers at the farmers markets.  It's so fun to watch people's eyes fly open when they sample our products there; over 90% of people who sample buy.  

More info about our products:

Our olive oils are "fused,” meaning the flavors (Basil, Garlic, Lemon) are crushed together with the ripe olives immediately after harvesting, resulting in deeper, truer and more intense flavors and aromas. Our oils are heart healthy and full of anti-oxidants and polyphenols.
 

Our premium barrel aged balsamic vinegars are sourced from Modena, Italy where up to seven different varieties of grapes are crushed, mixed with grape must, concentrated wine vinegar and fresh wine vinegar, aged in oak barrels, and fermented until the taste is flawless and approved by the master vinegar maker.
All of our products are sustainably grown, non-GMO, and use all natural ingredients. We sell via our e-commerce site, farmers markets, and wholesale.
