Colavita USA

Giovanni and Felice Colavita founded Colavita as a small olive mill in the village of Sant'Elia a Pianisi in the Molise region of Italy in 1938. Passing through to the next generation, Giovanni's sons, Enrico and Leonardo Colavita, extended the family business and expanded to international markets starting with the USA. In 1979 they found in John Profaci their first foreign partner and started to distribute Colavita olive oil around the world. Today the traditions of the trusted family brand is continuing with the third generation of the family that is maintaining Colavita as one of the few family-owned international brands in the olive oil sector and one of the biggest importer and distributor company of Italian products in US.
