Etiquette … bringing oil when we are guests seems to be a real trend according to modern etiquette –
as per the advice of chef Ina Garten for example, and there are several reasons behind this choice.
Bringing oil when someone invite us at home, according to modern etiquette
For those who think that only a bottle of wine or a dessert respect the rules of etiquette when you are a guest for lunch or dinner, there is an update to be taken into consideration: oil has become part of the good rules of conduct in moments of conviviality. Why?
1. A versatile gift
Olive oil is a basic ingredient in cooking used in a large number of dishes. 🍕 🥖🍖🍲🍝
Apart from the wine which is always a valuable gift (even if it may not match the dishes provided), bringing a dessert could be a little rude, because the hosts usually prepare everything, from starters to dessert.
You certainly can’t go wrong with olive oil! Oil according to modern etiquette is an excellent gift.
2. A touch of sophistication
Bringing quality olive oil shows that you have thought about the person you give it to. 🎁
It is a sign of attention and refinement, especially if you choose an artisanal oil.
3. A gift for health Olive oil is known for its health benefits. Bringing a gift that promotes well-being shows that you care about the health of your friends. 💝
4. An original alternative
Bringing olive oil means you give an original gift; it makes you and your gift memorable.💡
It’s a way to surprise and delight.
5. A safe option
Not everyone can eat sweets, but in any case everyone eats and – in theory 😄 – everyone cooks. 👩🍳👨🍳
Olive oil is therefore an inclusive gift that can be appreciated by anyone, regardless of personal preferences or problems and which remains with the hosts for a long time, even after dinner.
Olive oil, therefore, is the new must-have, especially if it is artisanal.
We have created a version in a “luxury” packaging: a 500 ml shaped bottle of our artisanal extra virgin olive oil – named I Poggetti 251 – so elegant and perfect for this new trend.
We said it some time ago: we were already sure that consumers had realized that oil is a very precious food and a very welcome gift.

Sono Matteo Marconi, provengo da una famiglia di agricoltori.
Sono cresciuto fin da piccolo in un contesto di azienda agricola e mi sono avvicinato man mano a questo mondo fatto di cura e rispetto per la natura, cominciando già dall’adolescenza a seguire le orme di mio padre, svolgendo alcuni piccoli lavori in campagna.
La mia giornata? Sveglia all’alba per sfalciare l’erba negli oliveti e controllo attento delle mie piante che tratto con Spintor Fly, un insetticida biologico.
C’è poi la fase più faticosa ma anche la più attesa dell’anno: la raccolta delle olive in autunno e la loro lavorazione, per ottenere l’olio extra vergine d’oliva di qualità superiore che imbottiglio.
In base al periodo dell’anno, mi occupo anche del fieno per i miei animali.
Sono giovane, ma molto coinvolto nelle attività dell’azienda di famiglia e il nome dell’olio che produco con passione e orgoglio ne e’ una chiara dimostrazione: Azienda Agricola Marconi Matteo, il tutto rappresentato nel logo dalla sola lettera M, l’iniziale del mio nome e del mio cognome, non per manie di protagonismo, ma perché ci metto davvero tutto Me stesso.
