About Marchetti International
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Marchetti International Premium Imported Italian Food Products is the matchless result of centuries old Italian traditions based on an uncompromising commitment to quality. Our extra virgin olive oil is produced from century old olive trees in Southern Italy, certified DOP (denomination of protected origin), which means it is produced from the same olives and is not mixed with other oils. Our Raccolte A Mano Olive Oil is hand-picked and first cold pressed.
Extra virgin olive oil is truly a food for the ages; for thousands of years it has been used not only as a food, but for medicine, beauty and religious rites. Today, health professionals foster its incredible medical qualities, chefs have menus celebrating fresh, high-quality extra virgin olive oil and it is the backbone of the one of the world’s healthiest lifestyles, the Mediterranean Diet.
Balsamic Vinegar
For hundreds of years wealthy families in the small towns of Modena and Reggio just west of Bologna in the northern Italian region of Emilia-Romanga, had been making balsamic vinegar for their own consumption. Families would nurture their supplies over the years, passing it on from generation to generation, gifting small amounts to esteemed friends and honored guests and perhaps even bequeathing some to a daughter as part of her dowry. Today we share with you history!
Our aged balsamic vinegar is made from 100% grape must in Modena, Italy and aged from 2 to 50 years. Marchetti International "Tradizionale" balsamic vinegars are aged in wooden barrels for at least 12 years. Over the years, our Traditional Balsamic Vinegar has been delicately crafted to offer the perfect experience of Italy’s finest. With an extraordinary bouquet of smooth, sweet, and harmonious flavors, our balsamic vinegars are an excellent complement to fruit, cheese, salads, meats and fish.

About the U.S. Amateur Golf Championship:
The Amateur Championship is the oldest golf championship in this country — one day older than the U.S. Open.
Throughout its history, the U.S. Amateur has been the most coveted of all amateur titles. Many of the great names of professional golf, such as Gene Littler, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Lanny Wadkins, Craig Stadler, Jerry Pate, Mark O’Meara, Hal Sutton, Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods, grace the Havemeyer Trophy.
It was, however, longtime amateur Robert T. Jones Jr. who first attracted media coverage and spectator attendance at the Amateur Championship. Jones captured the championship five times (1924, 1925, 1927, 1928, 1930). His 1930 victory was a stunning moment in golf history when, at Merion Cricket Club in Ardmore, Pa., Jones rounded out the Grand Slam, winning the four major American and British championships in one year.
