If not efficiently controlled, production can fall by 80%.Ellora Farms uses ECO-TRAP as a mass trapping method for olive fruit fly control at the Olive estates in Kolymvari, Crete in substitution for any insecticides and pesticides.

• No chemical residues are left on olive fruit and leaves
• No chemical insecticides are spread in the environment
• Predators’ population is not affected
• Predator and parasitoid populations are not affected

Heart Healthy

While all types of olive oil are sources of monounsaturated fat, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, from the cold extraction of the olives, contains higher levels of antioxidants, high concentration of vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol), and phenols, because it is less processed.

High quality Extra Virgin olive oil aids in neutralizing free radicals and diminishes the risk of many types of diseases and strengthens our immune system.

Olive Oil is the greatest exponent of monounsaturated fat (MUFA) and is a prime component of the heart healthy diet. Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids that are resistant to oxidation and lowers LDL (bad) cholesterol without affecting HDL (good) cholesterol, which protects against arteriosclerosis.

User questions & answers

Question:	How can you verify its 100% virgin ? just being on lable and from iitaly is not a stamp of authenticity , as a former gov, inspector i need more
Answer:	Don’t think so
Question:	Would this be good to use in soaps and lotions
Answer:	YES
Question:	Is IL Duomo pure olive oil still available
Answer:	I don’t see any of this information on the label
Question:	is this good for salads
Answer:	Dear Customer: Thanks for your question. Our products are from 2018 harvest and yes, we claim that our O-Live &Co is one of the freshest Extra virgin olive oils in the market, but to prove that, we place in the labels our acidity obtained during the process. The lower the acidity, the higher the quality: Ours is only 0.2% out of a maximum of 0.8%. Harvest Date has become a data that indicates when the olives were harvested, but this is not a guarantee of high quality: As an example, some producers harvest the olives but, what if they are too ripen? or What if these olives are not taken to the mill immediately once harvested? What if the olives wait in the mill a couple of days to be processed? This things currently happen and each step of the process has to be done in minimum time from harvest, and with the best olives only, to achieve a high-quality Extra virgin Olive oil. In our case? Only the best healthy olives are used in our process and we extract the oil within just a few hours, and our high quality has been proved not only through our maximum acidity of 0.2% but also during many years we had won several international contests. So Harvest Date is only information but doesn't prove the quality of your oil. Consider also that "best before" date means that you can consume our product with confidence…from the beginning until the end. Thanks a lot for your question, if you need more information, please let us know. O-Live&CO TEAM

User questions & answers

Question:	what is expiration date
Answer:	there is no indication on the bottle - you can contact the coop at www.sindyanna.com
Question:	Is this Unrefined
Answer:	Organic Extra Peaceful Extra Virgin Olive Oil is produced in Israel, by Sindyanna of Galilee. It's jointly run by Arab and Israeli women and it's a non profit company. The income is used to provide economic and educational opportuntities for Arab and Israeli women. The olive oil has a rich flavor. I like to use it on toast , rice and salads. I also like using products that promote peace and bring people together.
Question:	Are the polyphenol levels of this oil known
Answer:	You didn't say what you used to inspect to prove you are legit but I'm surprised as a "gov inspector" you don't know about CERMET certification. What is your question?
Question:	Country of origin
Answer:	You could use Extra Virgin in the production of soap and lotion; however, as I've read the cold press character of evoo will give soap a greenish color that some may find undesirable. Some suggest using plain olive oil of grade 40% less. But if a greenish hue isn't an issue with you, the grade of olive oil you choose is really immaterial. So, yes, you could use this.

User questions & answers

Question:	According to the Colavita site, the Organic EVOO has a REDDISH-brown label, and is clearly marked 100% Organic. Is this one organic or not? Thank you
Answer:	The one I get just says "organic", and also has the USDA Organic label on the side. The thumbnail on the left is not the organic version. I don't see it on this site. Now http://store.colavita.com/oils/extra-virgin-olive-oils/colavita-organic-extra-virgin-olive-oil-16-9-oz-glass.html has it, but the label is different from mine.I always find it tricky to locate the "organic" version: There seems to be some "versioning" going on with the labels. I spend the trouble searching as, for me, it's worth it. Hope that helps.

Answer:	It is glass.
Question:	could I use this to cook with also

As a trusted family company we want to ensure our customers that our products are authentic. The CERMET seal guarantees that Colavita Premium Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil is obtained exclusively from olives harvested and pressed in Italy. (Certified by Kiwa on October 14, 1999)

Extra Virgin?

“Extra” is the highest grade for olive oil. Virgin oil may be called “extra” if it has less than 0.8% free oleic acid, and if it exhibits superior taste and aroma. Thus, the “extra” in extra virgin olive oil means “premium.”

Why Choose Extra Virgin?

Extra virgin olive oils are not processed or refined. Extra virgin olive oil is essentially “fresh squeezed” from the fruit of the olive tree, without alteration of the color, taste, and nutrients or vitamins. Because of the integrity of the product, and its antioxidant components, extra virgin olive oil will keep longer than all other vegetable oils.

Better than Butter?

Colavita olive oils can be used in place of butter or margarine in many recipes, such as on vegetables, rice, potatoes, and–yes–even baking! To try olive oil in your recipe, try our olive oil recipe converter.

Olive Oil Certification Programs

North American Olive Oil Association (NAOOA)

Participants cannot choose the samples or where they come from.

Use highly experienced IOC testing facilities, most frequently in Italy or Spain, two of the largest olive oil producing and consuming nations in the world. (Certified by IndLab on September 3, 2019)

User questions & answers

Question:	does it have olive smell
Answer:	Yes!! Olive are very green and peppery. You can compare the smell to fresh cut grass with hints of tomatoes and artichokes. Olives pick the aromas and flavors from the surrounding vegetation. Olives are peppery!! This is why Papa Vince has a mild peppery kick right in the back of your throat.

Product description

This premium Italian extra virgin olive oil, made by the colavita family, has rich aroma and a balanced, full-bodied flavor. The slightly spicy and bitter notes in the flavor profile testify to the Italian authenticity and freshness of this product. The timeless look of Clarita's signature extra virgin olive oil was inspired by the containers used by generations of the Clarita family in Molise, Italy to transfer fresh oil from the press to a place of prominence in the family kitchen. During the colder months, olive oil will congeal during shipping. This is normal, natural, and will not disturb the quality of the oil. Please allow congealed oil to rest at room temperature for 24 hours. Product of Italy. Cholesterol and carbohydrate free. Store in a cool dry place.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the quantity? the description says 3l and then says 33.8oz. however 3l =101oz
Answer:	Yes, this container is 3 liters. Amazon ad showing 33.8 oz. is a mistake. Young people here are not familiar with the metric system. BTW, very good product.
Question:	Can this oil be used for frying
Answer:	Yes. You can use the extra virgin olive oil for regular pan frying as well as deep frying. Like all oils, it will burn if heated above its smoke point. This and other extra virgin olive oils have a smoke point at 410F.
Question:	is it bottled in Italy or USA
Answer:	Pressed and bottled at our facility in Pomezia, Italy. Enjoy!
Question:	What percentage of this oil is olive oil? Nowhere does it certify or claim that it is 100% olive oil (only that olives used are 100% Italian
Answer:	Your statement is correct. The seal states that it is 100% Italian, and I'm sure it is. It does NOT state that it is 100% pure extra virgin olive oil, and does not taste like it to me.
