Napolina Olio da Cucina

Napolina is a well-established brand synonymous with authentic Italian cuisine, founded in 1965 by Marino Iandiorio. The brand was inspired by the rich culinary traditions of Naples and originally focused on importing high-quality tomatoes to the UK market. Over the decades, it has expanded its range to include pasta, pulses, and specialized oils like this Olio da Cucina, which is a versatile blend of rapeseed and olive oils designed for high-heat cooking.

While the brand maintains a strong Italian identity and heritage, it is actually a British success story in terms of ownership. It was long owned by Princes Limited, a major UK food and drink group. In a significant industry move in 2024, Newlat Food S.p.A., an Italian food group, reached an agreement to acquire Princes Limited, effectively returning the brand's ownership to Italian hands. This transition ensures that the brand remains deeply rooted in Italian culinary standards while continuing to serve international markets from its UK-based operations hub.
