Veronica Foods at the Olympics


Our supplier, Veronica Foods Company, was founded in New York City in 1924 by Italian immigrant Salvatore Esposito. The Delizia olive oil brand was transferred from Naples, Italy and registered in the United States in the same year.  In 1930 the family moved to Oakland, California where they import more than one million gallons of the finest, freshest extra virgin olive oil every year.   

Because of their high standards, they were selected to supply the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi and for the second consecutive Olympic Games we are proud to announce Veronica Foods was selected by the official US Caterer to provide olive oils and balsamic vinegars at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio. Our products were incorporated into thousands of daily meals at several different locations serving our athelets and internatonal press

The Bradleys procure and create what will be perfectly paired with the fresh and organic ingredients Crisafulli's team purchases locally to make healthy meals for the athletes".  Chef Crisafulli selected over 30 oils and vinegars to be featured in various dishes and to be used as dressings. - "What makes these products so special are the many years this family has partnered with olive oil producers all over the world, ensuring they produce according to their criteria to extract the maximum health benefits and taste from the olives. Procuring all over the world allows them to follow the season and to constantly sell very fresh oils."
