Listen "Sicilan Olive Oil Producer and Tech Entrepreneur Giuseppe Taibi"
Episode Synopsis
Giuseppe Taibi is a tech entrepreneur and a fourth-generation olive oil producer from Sicily.
While pursuing an advanced degree in engineering in Boston some time ago, Giuseppe met the woman would be his wife, but couldn’t find anywhere in the city an olive oil that would satisfy his desires.
It wasn’t long before Giuseppe had 700 bottles of his family’s Biancolilla and Nocellara del Belice monovarietal extra virgin olive oils at the Port of Boston -- and he set out to introduce the tastes of his homeland to a skeptical city.
Now, his award-winning brand, Olio Taibi is sold throughout the Boston area and beyond. And it’s in Boston that we find Giuseppe today, having just returned from the harvest at his family farm in Sicily.
