Olivetta Extra Virgin Olive Oil Medium 1 Litre

Olivetta’s Medium Extra Virgin Olive Oil is sourced from a world renowned olive grove in the Scherpenheuwel Valley in South Africa. It is a carefully curated blend of olive varietals including Frantoia, Coratino and Leccino. The olives are hand-picked at peak ripeness and the oil is cold extracted on the same day as harvest. The varietals are blended to produce a unique olive oil that is then stored in a bag in a box to ensure little to no degredation from heat, light or oxygen. It is olive oil on tap!

Provenance

The olives that are used in the production of this oil are all cultivars sourced from Italy. They are grown on the banks of the Breede River in an area of the Western Cape of South Africa known as the Little Karoo. Hot days, cold nights and a little bit of love from the Cape Doctor, a South Easterly wind that blows through the trees, ensure high quality fruit year after year. As the varietals ripen at different times, it allows each harvest to be handled with care to ensure the integrity of the fruit and a resulting high quality oil.

Tasting Notes

A golden coloured olive oil with a slight green hue, the initial aroma is one of green beans and fresh lettuce leaves. On the palate, there is a taste of green apple and tomato leaves with a creamy lingering in the mouth of almond butter. The lasting finish is a pleasant hint of white pepper.

How To Use

This is a beautiful olive oil blend that lends itself to general use in the kitchen. The on-tap feature allows the oil to be easily decanted into one of our gorgeous cruets to be displayed on the kitchen counter or the dining table. Use generously to fry, drizzle, marinade and bake.

Use and Storage

Our oil is preserved in opaque packaging to protect it from light, which destroys the benefits contained within the oil. Best kept in a cool place away from heat. Consume before the Use By Date and within 3 months of opening the bottle.

What makes it Extra Virgin Olive Oil?

Our extra virgin olive oil meets a number of important criteria: It has a chemical composition with an acidity level of less than 0.8% as tested in the laboratory; it is cold extracted to preserve its taste and benefits, and it is taste tested to ensure it has no defects. In addition, no chemicals are used in the production process. It truly is the pure juice of the olive fruit.
