THE HISTORY

typical Ligurian products

 

The Origins

Typical Ligurian products. In 1462, following the conflicts between the Guelphs and Ghibellines, Messer Francesco Divizia, a wealthy lord from Perugia, moved to Stellanello, in the inland area of Andora.
There, he purchased numerous lands and began cultivating olives, laying the foundation of a tradition that continues to this day.
Moreover, this move marked the beginning of a family history deeply connected to the Ligurian land and its authentic products.

The Divizia Family Olive Tradition

For centuries, the Divizia family focused entirely on olive cultivation and the production of high-quality oil.
Thanks to their passion and experience, the oil gained fame and prestige throughout the Ligurian Riviera.
In addition, the family has always prioritized quality and genuineness—values that today distinguish all our typical Ligurian products.

The Evolution Towards Typical Ligurian Products

In the 1970s, the company expanded its activities.
A laboratory was equipped for the artisanal production of pesto, paté, preserved vegetables, and other typical Ligurian specialties.
This new laboratory complemented the olive oil production, allowing the company to offer a wider range of products.
Moreover, the focus on artisanal quality ensured that the authentic flavors of traditional recipes remained intact.

The Birth of “La Bella Angiolina”

In 1999, “La Bella Angiolina” was launched, a line of olive-based specialties inspired by grandmother Angiolina’s ancient recipes.
Year after year, the range expanded with many other typical Ligurian products, forming the complete assortment we know today.
Furthermore, each product tells a story of territory, passion, and Ligurian tradition, reflected in its taste and quality.

The New Headquarters and Contemporary Brand for Typical Ligurian Products

In 2016, the new headquarters in Toirano was inaugurated, equipped with a modern production laboratory.
This allowed for increased production capacity and even higher quality standards.
Finally, in 2023, the brand “La Bella Angiolina” was updated to the fresher, more contemporary “Angiolina Eccellenze Liguri”.
Thanks to this evolution, the company continues to promote typical  L i g u r i a n  products, combining tradition, innovation, and authenticity.

Today, Angiolina Eccellenze Liguri represents a benchmark for those seeking artisanal, genuine, and territory-rooted typical Ligurian products.
The Divizia family’s history and passion for Liguria continue to guide every decision, ensuring excellence in every product.
