Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for an oil to be extra virgin?
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) is the highest quality. It is obtained solely through mechanical processes—without refining or chemical additives—and has an acidity level of less than 0.8%.
This guarantees a pure taste, fresh aromas and a high concentration of natural antioxidants.
How should olive oil be stored?
Store your oil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources. The dark glass bottle protects the product, but ideally, it should be kept between 15 and 22°C to preserve its flavor and properties for longer.
Later harvest instead of traditional harvest?
Traditional harvesting usually takes place earlier, when the olives are still green or partially ripe. This results in oils with a more intense, fruity, and bitter flavor, while late harvesting produces milder, sweeter oils with less bitterness.
Where do your olives come from?
Our olives come from family-owned olive groves cultivated sustainably.
Each batch is harvested and pressed in our own olive mill, guaranteeing traceability, freshness and respect for the environment.
Can I use this oil for cooking or frying?
Yes, although we recommend reserving our Premium EVOO for raw consumption (salads, toast, pasta, cold meats, etc.).
For frying or long cooking times, a milder extra virgin oil or virgin oil can be used.
How long does the oil last once opened?
If you store it properly —closed, in a cool place away from light— olive oil maintains very good quality for at least two years from the date of packaging, even after opening.
Over time it may lose aroma and intensity, but it will still be a safe product.
Are their containers recyclable or sustainable?
Yes. We use recyclable dark glass bottles and labels made from eco-friendly paper.
Furthermore, our production process minimizes the use of plastics and promotes the recycling of materials.
Can oil change color or texture over time?
Yes, it's natural for olive oil to vary slightly in color or contain light sediment. These changes do not affect the quality or safety of the product; on the contrary, they indicate that the oil retains its natural properties.
