Ignite Partners with Gaia Oliva on a Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil Collection

August 11, 2025
For over seven years, Ignite has been known for stone-fired pizza made with dough that goes through 5 days of fermentation. Now we’re taking that same commitment to quality from the pizza oven to the pantry.

Together with Gaia Oliva, we’re launching a premium extra virgin olive oil collection, our first-ever retail product.

From the Aegean Coast to Your Kitchen

The oils are made from early-harvest olives grown on the Aegean coast of Turkey. Each bottle is cold-pressed within hours of harvest to capture the fruit’s full character: a smooth, peppery finish, a vibrant aroma and the depth of flavour found only in true extra virgin olive oil.

“From the start, Ignite has been about using the best ingredients possible, not just for flavour, but for the experience,” says Umut Turnali, founder of Ignite Pizzeria. “Partnering with Gaia Oliva allowed us to bring that same philosophy into a retail product.”

The Collection

A Classic Extra Virgin for purists, plus four bold infusions:
– Tangerine: bright and citrusy, perfect for seafood or roasted vegetables
– Lemon: zesty and fresh, a natural pairing for salads and grilled chicken
– Jalapeño: a gentle heat that lifts pizzas, pastas and dips
– Red Hot Peppers: a fiery kick for pizzas, grilled meats and marinades

Sizes:
– 500 ml Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil, robust and bold
– 250 ml Co-Pressed Flavoured Olive Oils: Tangerine, Lemon, Jalapeño and Red Hot Peppers
– 3 L Everyday Extra Virgin Olive Oil, for home chefs and kitchen use
– All bottles are fully recyclable glass.

Why It Stands Out

– Premium sourcing: early-harvest olives from a single origin on the Aegean coast
– Cold-pressed within hours: preserves nutrients, aroma and flavour
– What’s in it: rich in monounsaturated fats and naturally containing polyphenols
– Versatile: drizzle over pizza, pasta, salads, grilled meats, seafood or fresh bread
