FAQ
Why does some EVOO taste peppery or slightly bitter?
That peppery sensation is common in quality olive oil and comes from naturally occurring olive compounds. It’s a normal tasting note, especially in fresher oils.
How should I store olive oil to keep it fresh?
Store it tightly capped in a cool, dark place away from heat and light. Air, warmth, and sunlight can reduce aroma over time.
What are the best finishing uses for EVOO?
Drizzle on salads, grilled vegetables, soups, beans, pasta, and bread. Add it at the end so the flavor stays vibrant.
