The Right Olive Oil.…Let Your Menu Be Your Guide
Some of our specially selected single-estate olive oils are golden, other olive oils have a greenish tint. You may catch a hint of lemon or vanilla in one and grasses or nuts in another extra-virgin olive oil. One might thrill you with an intense peppery kick, while the next will be smooth and mild. Pair them accordingly. A bold extra-virgin olive oil adds flavor to your grilled steak. With a poached whitefish, try a milder, sweeter olive oil. Keep a couple of different authentic Italian olive oils in your pantry. Experiment and enjoy! For tasty ideas See Our Recipes.
Here’s to your Health
Italian extra-virgin olive oil not only tastes good, it’s also good for you. In fact, pure extra-virgin olive oil is internationally recognized as one of the healthiest fats available. With zero cholesterol, antioxidant-rich vitamins and high level of good-for-you mono-saturated fats, it’s widely thought to help raise your good cholesterol and lower your bad cholesterol. No wonder extra-virgin olive oil has been a fundamental part of the Mediterranean diet throughout the centuries.
Storing Your Olive Oil
“Vino vecchio, olio nuovo.” (“old wine, new oil”)
Unlike wine, Italian extra-virgin olive oil does not mature in the bottle. Once opened, age and exposure to heat, air and light may result in the olive oil taking on a slightly bitter taste after about a year. Most people finish their bottle and open a new one long before this happens. Simple steps such as storing it away from the stove in a cool, dark spot and keeping the bottle tightly closed will ensure its freshness. Unopened, your Italian extra-virgin olive oil will maintain its rich flavors and goodness for at least a couple of years after its harvest date.
