Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is the highest quality olive oil, made by cold pressing olives without the use of chemicals or excessive heat. Known for its superior flavor and nutritional benefits, EVOO is rich in antioxidants and healthy monounsaturated fats, making it a cornerstone of the Mediterranean diet. Its fresh, fruity aroma and slightly peppery taste make it ideal for drizzling over salads, vegetables, and bread, as well as being used in cooking at lower temperatures. The oil must meet strict standards to be classified as “extra virgin,” including low acidity levels and no defects in flavor or aroma.

Extra virgin olive oil not only enhances the taste of dishes but also offers numerous health benefits, such as reducing inflammation and supporting heart health, making it a trusted and versatile staple in kitchens worldwide.
