Family-owned Colavita USA, headquartered in Edison, NJ, has been importing and distributing premium Italian products since 1979. Colavita’s authentic specialty products, including olive oils, durum wheat semolina pasta, a full selection of balsamic and wine vinegars, traditional and organic pasta sauces, and more, are the ingredients of choice for chefs at home, in restaurants and professional kitchens alike. Colavita also markets a full line of marinated vegetables and spreads and ready-to-serve soups, each prepared according to Colavita family tradition.

A long time ago in the quaint hilltop village of Sant’Elia a Pianisi, located in the Molise region of Italy, two small family businesses were born. One family operated a stone mill for crushing homegrown olives used to produce fine extra virgin olive oil. The other family gathered the durum wheat harvest and milled the wheat into semolina grain to produce fresh pasta for the local market. Over time, both families became experts at their trade, passing their knowledge to the next generation, who in turn did the same. They were both Colavita families.

Colavita Olive Oil and Colavita Pasta companies are now part of the same group and managed by the Colavita family. Colavita has been distributing its products around the world since 1979 and its reputation has become a benchmark for Italian quality products worldwide.

Today, Colavita operates in different facilities in Italy, in Molise and in Pomezia (Rome), which is also the International headquarters of the group. In the U.S., we operate in Edison, NJ and Dixon, CA.
Colavita pasta is made from 100% durum wheat and uses certified mountain spring water “Acqua del Molise”. All Colavita products are constantly tested, guaranteeing that only the best ends up on your table.
Colavita aims to bring this family tradition to your kitchen with their products and Mediterranean Diet-inspired recipes,and spread the idea that good food equals health.
