Sogno Toscano EVOO: The Essence of Italian Quality

We learned in Italy that the secret to great food is pure Extra Virgin Olive Oil. After searching traditional frantoios, we selected Sogno Toscano 1923 EVOO because it is Italian, pressed from Italian olives and never cut with seed oils. The subtle spicy finish is a sign of high quality and high levels of polyphenols, giving the oil its powerful antioxidant properties.

Sogno Toscano: Translating the Tuscan Dream into Culinary Reality

Sogno Toscano, which translates to "Tuscan Dream," is the culmination of a lifelong friendship and a shared heritage. Tracing its roots to the beautiful countryside of Bolgheri, Tuscany, the company was co-founded by best friends Pietro Brembilla & Brian Persico, who later moved their dream to New York City in 2006. Starting by importing top-quality olive oil from Pietro's family estate, they overcame early hurdles by personally labeling bottles and offering no minimum orders, successfully establishing a foothold in the American restaurant market. Today, Sogno Toscano has grown to include 10 distribution centers across the US, supplying America’s best chefs and households alike.

A Philosophy of Uncompromising Quality

Sogno Toscano operates under a unique, vertically integrated model. They function as a single-brand food distributor and their own manufacturer, a system that places the full responsibility for product quality squarely on their shoulders. This commitment means they can never use excuses for defects or inconsistencies.

The company's philosophy ensures superior quality through:

Rigorous Testing: Performing extensive laboratory testing and sampling on every product.

Chef Feedback: Incorporating tasting and feedback from award-winning chefs.

Safety & Compliance: Ensuring most products are GMO-free and that all suppliers are certified by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA).

Precision and Service: Maintaining extreme attention to detail in every shipment and prioritizing excellent client service ("We will always say yes to our clients").

By evolving their professional and personal lives together, Pietro and Brian continue to share the best of Italy with the American market through a strong bond and an unyielding commitment to quality.
