Lirys Moraiolo
Buy nowSome oils seek harmony. Lirys Moraiolo seeks challenge.
It is an oil born to stand out, not to please. Its identity is rooted in a rugged and austere variety: the moraiolo, a hardy cultivar that grows where others struggle — on stones, on steep slopes, in absolute silence. Its strength lies in solitude: it doesn’t blend, it doesn’t rely. It wins on its own.
Lirys Moraiolo was one of the first single-varietal (monocultivar) olive oils ever conceived — a bold intuition that has since become a benchmark. For over twenty years, it has been among the most awarded and acclaimed oils on the international scene.

Intensity
On the nose: rich and deep, it evokes the freshness of freshly cut grass and the scent of olive leaves, enriched by distinctive nuances of artichoke.
On the palate: powerful and vigorous entry. The bitter and spicy chase each other without ever overpowering each other, finding a balance of tension. The persistence is long, virile, vertical.
Lirys Moraiolo doesn’t blend in.
It is a sharp, essential, uncompromising oil. It speaks to those who face life without shortcuts, to those who know that elegance can also be hard—like stone that doesn’t yield.
It does not seek comfort in blending: it resists, asserts, and rises.
Lirys Moraiolo is the oil of resilience
It was born from harsh soil—just like the character it embodies. And from a defining moment: 1997, the year a devastating earthquake razed almost everything to the ground—except the mill. From that destruction, and from that endurance, this oil took shape.
It reflects the spirit of those who never outsourced their strength, but built it through adversity. Like the moraiolo tree, which doesn’t ask for easy ground but clings to rock. Which doesn’t fear solitude, because it knows how to carry its weight.
Lirys is an oil that asserts itself
It doesn’t accompany, it leads. It doesn’t embellish, it sustains.
It is the fruit of a pioneering vision—one that helped reshape the culture of extra virgin olive oil and continues to stand out, award after award.
An oil that resembles its maker: determined, loyal to itself, and capable of standing tall when everything else collapses.
