Roots
Imagine, it’s the 1960s in Italy, a time of economic boom. Industrial development is bringing profound changes to Italian society. Many people are leaving rural areas and moving to big cities to work in factories. Many cultivate the dream of a better life, but for many, this dream will result in a life of hardships, far away from their roots and loved ones. Others will live in overcrowded, polluted places with a lack of essential services.

Deliba brand is born
2019
Today, the Cosmano family's story enters its second generation in the realm of Italian olive growing, with the children, Carmine, Gianfranco, and Ivana, continuing the journey started by their parents. In 2019, they launched the DELIBA brand through which they market the extra virgin olive oil they produce, along with all the other products.
Our Mission
Many people ask us why Deliba.
Deliba derives from the Latin word “delibare,” which means to taste, savor, and enjoy small samples of food and beverages with grace. The term Deliba encapsulates the essence of our MISSION which is to offer a special and unique product to our customers. However, it goes beyond that. Through the Deliba brand, we aim to transmit our way of life. Deliba is an invitation to conviviality, to sharing. Even the simple act of drizzling slices of bread with a thread of extra virgin olive oil holds great significance for us, the people of the Mediterranean. It is a powerful symbol of our culture, where conviviality is a cornerstone. With the term “Deliba,” we seek to translate the simplicity of our way of life and the authenticity of our products. It is no coincidence that our motto is “Eat Well And Stay Well” and the principles of the Mediterranean Diet form the foundation of our lifestyle.
