Flavor Profile & Harvest

• Taste: Characterized by a fruity, medium-bodied profile with a subtle peppery finish. It often features notes of fresh herbs and green almonds.

• Extraction: This is a First Cold Pressed oil, meaning the olives are crushed mechanically without the use of high heat or chemicals. This process preserves the delicate antioxidants (polyphenols) and the true flavor of the fruit.

   

• Acidity: As an "Extra Virgin" grade oil, it maintains a free acidity level of less than 0.8%, ensuring a high-quality, non-greasy mouthfeel.

Versatility

Because it sits in the "goldilocks" zone of flavor intensity—not too bitter, yet not too mild—it is highly functional for several culinary uses:

• Finishing: Drizzle it over burrata, grilled vegetables, or a warm bowl of minestrone to elevate the dish.

• Emulsifying: Its stable viscosity makes it an excellent base for homemade Caesar dressings or classic balsamic vinaigrettes.

• Sautéing: With a smoke point of approximately 375°F to 405°F (190∘C to 207∘C), it is safe for low-to-medium heat pan-frying and roasting.

• Dipping: Pour into a shallow dish with a pinch of sea salt and cracked pepper for a classic Italian bread dip.

Packaging & Preservation

• Bottle Design: The 20oz bottle is typically made of dark-tinted glass. This is intentional, as UV light is the primary enemy of olive oil, causing it to go rancid. The dark glass helps maintain the oil's freshness and nutritional integrity.

   
   

• Storage: To maximize the shelf life, store this bottle in a cool, dark cupboard away from the stove or oven heat.

   

Nutritional Benefits

• Heart Healthy: Rich in monounsaturated fats (specifically oleic acid) which are known to support cardiovascular health.

   

• Antioxidants: High in Vitamin E and K, providing anti-inflammatory properties with every serving.
