Taste What Michelin Chefs Order
In the world of premium ingredients, few products carry the quiet prestige and universal praise of Casa Caponetti olive oil. Grown and pressed in the heart of Italy, this estate-produced extra virgin olive oil isn't just a kitchen staple—it’s a culinary treasure. Trusted by Michelin-starred chefs and hailed by the world's most respected palates, Casa Caponetti brings more than taste to the table—it brings heritage, sustainability, and soul.
A Favorite Among Michelin Masters
Daniel Humm, the acclaimed chef behind New York’s legendary Eleven Madison Park, calls Casa Caponetti a pantry essential:
“We use this at Eleven Madison Park. It's pressed with stone and has a buttery, herbaceous flavor that's also a little peppery. I like to use it in this simple pasta dish I make with spaghetti, Meyer lemon, and black pepper.”

This isn't just an endorsement—it’s a peek into the ingredient choices of one of the world’s top restaurants. And Humm isn’t alone.
Eric Ripert of Le Bernardin, and Dan Barber of Blue Hill at Stone Barns—two titans of the American culinary scene—have also praised the oil for its integrity and extraordinary flavor. Barber, who champions sustainability and terroir-driven ingredients, once visited Lorenzo’s farm and said:
“It’s a whole farm ecosystem, and you can taste the wisdom in every teaspoon.”
From a Living Ecosystem to Your Plate
Casa Caponetti isn’t your average olive oil. It comes from a biodynamic farm in Tuscia, a region rich in Etruscan history and volcanic soil. The olive trees are part of a broader regenerative ecosystem where sustainability isn’t a marketing buzzword—it’s the daily standard.
As Dan Barber noted, what makes Lorenzo’s oil so extraordinary isn’t just the flavor—it’s the way the land is cared for. It’s the ancient practices blended with modern ecological understanding. It’s farming with reverence.
Liquid Gold with a Cult Following
Tim West, a Culinary Institute of America alumnus, discovered the oil as a student and still sings its praises:
“Lorenzo and his liquid gold (olive oil)… some of Italy’s best.”
The flavor notes are as poetic as the process—buttery, herbaceous, peppery, and complex. A drizzle transforms simple dishes into sensory experiences. It’s no wonder GQ once called it:
“The tastiest olive oil a [hu]man can buy.”
An Olive Oil Worth Celebrating
Whether you're a home cook or a professional chef, Casa Caponetti is the kind of ingredient that speaks for itself—quietly powerful, uncompromisingly authentic. It’s not just about what it adds to your dish—it’s about what it says about your values: quality, sustainability, and timeless tradition.
