Extra Virgin Olive Oil 100% Italian

One of the highlights of our production is our Italian extra-virgin olive oil, which is created using only the best, carefully chosen Italian olives. This 100% Italian extra-virgin olive oil retains the scent of wholesome just-ripe olives from the time it is picked until it turns from green to dark brown when used straight from the bottle.

The most distinctive quality of our extra-virgin olive oil is its balanced nature, which is never forceful. Fresh olive flavor and medium-intensity bitter and spicy tones in Italian extra-virgin olive oil make it the ideal addition to salads, meat or fish meals, as well as with pulses or just drizzled over grilled veggies or bruschetta.
