Questions About Our Olive Oils

 

WHAT MAKES YOUR OLIVE OIL AWARD-WINNING?

Our range of Extra Virgin Olive Oil  has been recognized for its exceptional quality, taste, and production standards. It undergoes meticulous harvesting, cold-pressing, and strict quality control processes, resulting in an outstanding product that has garnered the highest industry accolades from organisations like Flos Olei and IOC. The awards for each olive oil and producer are shown alongside the bottle. Every year Sarah personally selects the best olive oils of the harvest.

 

IS ALL YOUR OLIVE OIL EXTRA VIRGIN?

Yes! Authentic extra virgin olive oil  must meet strict standards of purity. It is made exclusively from the first pressing of the olives.  This is done by mechanical means without the use of heat or chemicals. This cold-pressing method helps preserve the natural flavors and nutrients of the olives. The acidity level must be less than 0.8% to be classified as "extra virgin." Acidity in olive oil is indicative of the level of oxidation in the oil and other types of olive oil like virgin or pure have much higher levels. 

No Refining Unlike refined olive oil, which undergoes processing and filtering to remove impurities and flaws, extra virgin olive oil  is unrefined and retains all of its natural goodness, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

 

WHERE DO YOU SOURCE YOUR OLIVE OILS FROM?

We source our extra virgin olive oil  from select groves in Spain where 44% of the world’s olive oil comes from and a concentration of best in class producers can be found. Spain has long produced the highest quality extra virgin olive oil  using sustainable practices, ensuring environmental responsibility and optimal flavor.

 

WHAT ARE THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL?

Our award-winning extra  are rich in antioxidants, monounsaturated fats, and vitamins, promoting heart health, lowering cholesterol levels, and reducing the risk of chronic diseases. They also possess anti-inflammatory properties and support overall well-being. 

 

WHAT IS "EARLY HARVEST" EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL AND WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

"Early harvest” olive oils are made from olives collected slightly underripe. These oils taste greener and fresher and, crucially, have higher amounts of polyphenols, the antioxidants which make extra virgin olive oils such a superfood. All of our extra virgin olive oils are early harvest. 

 

CAN EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL BE USED FOR COOKING?

Absolutely! One of the myths about extra virgin olive  is that it can't be used for cooking. The smoke point of EVOO is 410°F (210°C) and this is perfect for sautéing, roasting, grilling, and frying. Not only that but the polyphenols found in extra virgin olive oil protect not only the oils at high temperatures but the food being cooked aswell.

 

CAN I USE EVOO FOR DIPPING AND DRIZZLING?

Our olive oil is perfect for dipping crusty bread, drizzling over salads, or finishing off dishes to add a burst of flavor and bring out the best in all your seasonal ingredients and foods.
