EVOO

stands for “Extra Virgin Olive Oil.” It is the highest grade of olive oil, characterized by its superior quality and taste.

From the micro-farmers

This extra virgin is produced by the farmers, whom we consider the artisans of olive oil. Our olives are grown on several small farms, just three to seven acres, and are located within minutes of the cooperative that presses their oil.

Guardians of Old Traditions From the Microfarmers

We work with a special group of farmers who are safeguarding the regional ancient varieties of olives of the Umbria region in Central Italy. They grow and harvest the olives, which are then pressed and bottled by the local cooperative. The farmers are committed to preserving the ancient olive trees and will continue to maintain high standards for the highest-quality and best-tasting olive oil.

The unique blend of olives in Velvet Olive Oil creates a flavor profile that is both delicate and complex. It has a fruity aroma with notes of almond, grass, and green apple, making it a perfect addition to various dishes. 

The unique blend of micro-farmed olives

One of the unique aspects of Velvet Olive Oil is that it is cultivated by micro farmers in the Colli Martani area. These small-scale farmers deeply understand the land, the climate, and the olive trees, which means that they can produce high-quality olives that are ideal for creating premium olive oil.

The health benefits of velvet olive oil

Velvet Olive Oil also has a range of health benefits. For example, this high-quality, extra virgin olive oil is an excellent source of healthy monounsaturated fats, which can help to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Velvet Olive Oil is also an excellent source of vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that can help protect the body against damage caused by free radicals. In addition, this oil is also rich in vitamin K, which plays a vital role in blood clotting and bone health.

EVOO stands for “Extra Virgin Olive Oil.”

It is the highest grade of olive oil, characterized by its superior quality and taste. To be classified as extra virgin, the olive oil must be produced by mechanical means without the use of chemicals or excessive heat, which ensures the oil’s natural flavor, aroma, and health benefits are preserved.

Extra virgin olive oil is made from pure, cold-pressed olives, whereas other olive oils may be processed using heat or chemicals or created from a blend of cold-pressed and processed oils. EVOO is also noted for its low acidity, and high levels of polyphenols, which are natural antioxidants, and other beneficial compounds.

Because of its purity and sensory attributes—such as its taste and smell—extra virgin olive oil is typically used in cooking applications where its flavors can shine, like in salad dressings, dips, or as a finishing oil.
