User questions & answers

Question:	Does the label say "First Cold Press
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Can this be used for cooking
Answer:	The robusto version of this oil has a strong olive oil flavor while I use the smooth version for my day to day cooking. Robusto will give you strong olive oil taste while smooth will not.
Question:	Is this supposed to have a strong bitter taste? Mine does. I hope it's not rancid. I didn't use it for cooking; only used it on a salad
Answer:	No, something must be wrong with your bottle, or perhaps you have a temporary health issue affecting your taste? I have ordered this for years from Amazon and use it extensively for cooking, in salads and for caprese salads and focaccia. It is great stuff
Question:	Is this in a glass or plastic container
Answer:	Plastic container

Question:	Does this product come in glass or plastic containers
Answer:	Very thick green plastic so the oil protects from light.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there a "peppery" taste to this evoo? i love that taste which i have found in some tuscan oils
Answer:	Yes, this Entimio Intenso EVOO has a nice peppery and slightly bitter note, balanced while pronounced, as to be expected in a robust EVOO and as typical of the "Correggiolo" olive variety cultivated in the Chianti Classico area. The peppery (aka pungent) and bitter notes are the natural expressions of polyphenols (natural antioxidants present in high-quality olive oils) and a distinctive sign of early harvest well-milled olive oils. Please see our pairing suggestions in the pictures and product details, but also experiment as taste is subject and there is no right or wrong answer. If you found this EVOO too robust, please consider one of the other Entimio EVOOs, which range from delicate to robust. We, of course, encourage you to try and use all our EVOOs and discover the diversity of authenticity! :) Regards, Daniel Santini - Founder of Entimio
Question:	Hi, i read that the fda label for health benefits could be put on olive oil with phenols of a certain level, which i think your oil has. why no label
Answer:	Hi, as far as I am aware, the FDA does NOT allow a health claim on the potential benefit from the consumption of olive oil with high phenolic content. The only "qualified health claim" allowed by the FDA on olive oil, which applies to all vegetable oils with more than 70% of oleic acid, is the following "Supportive but not conclusive scientific evidence suggests that daily consumption of about 1½ tablespoons (20 grams) of oils containing high levels of oleic acid, when replaced for fats and oils higher in saturated fat, may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. To achieve this possible benefit, oleic acid-containing oils should not increase the total number of calories you eat in a day. One serving of [x] oil provides [x] grams of oleic acid (which is [x] grams of monounsaturated fatty acid)." All Entimio olive oil has > 70% of oleic acid. However, we believe the above language is so complicated, generic, and "weak", that it may confuse more than promote the use of olive oil. Indeed, few brands, if any, have written this FDA "qualified health claim" language on their packaging. A phenol-related claim is instead allowed by the European equivalent of the FDA, the EFSA, for oil with more than 200mg/kg of phenols, which is what you may have read about. As per the FDA health claim, also in Europe, it is very rare to see health claims on olive oil bottle/packaging, because the language is complicated and "weak." The "European" phenols-related claim reads something like "Polyphenols from olive have an antioxidant activity that may help maintain healthy LDL cholesterol level and lipid oxidation/antioxidants. This health benefit can be enjoyed following the consumption of 20 g of olive oil with a polyphenol content of 200 mg/kg / Min 2 mg per day of hydroxytyrosol". We make our best effort to produce and market delicious and authentic olive of the highest quality, which for us also means olive oil with oleic acid and phenolic content among the highest on the market. However, given we are neither doctors or food scientists, we prefer to leave to health practitioners and consumers to decide what is best for their health. I hope this addresses your question and shed some light on the topic also for other consumers. Thank you for your question. Regards, Daniel Santini - Founder of Entimio
Question:	Is this product organic
Answer:	Yes, it is. The latest 2018 Harvest Entimio Audace is now USDA Certified Organic. Enjoy it!
Question:	is this olive oil unfiltered? thanks
Answer:	All Entimio olive oil is filtered with paper filters allowed under USDA organic certification. This "natural" filtration method is a relatively expensive process and has the purpose of reducing water content and solid residues to ensure shelf stability and maximum health benefits for consumers. I know that other sellers promote "unfiltered" olive oil as more natural and healthier. Unfortunately, that is not true, and all olive oil experts agree on this matter. Also, for maximum transparency and safety, we test all our Entimio olive oils after bottling. By doing so, we are sure that all values (polyphenols level, free acidity, absence of pesticides and resides, etc.) reported on our listings relate to the same product you will get at your home, after filtering and bottling. And if you still want to experience unfiltered olive oil, you should do so during harvest at the producer site or at least within three, max six, months from harvest. The higher water content and solid residues present in unfiltered olive oil contribute to significantly faster oxidation and reduction in the antioxidants content of any olive oil. I hope this helps you to make an informed choice. Regards, Daniel Santini - Founder of Entimio

Product description

Produced by the Asaro Brothers Company in Partanna, Sicily, this oil is a first cold-pressed, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, but it is also an early harvest (October), single-olive varietal (Nocellara del Belice), unfiltered oil. When the tins are first opened, the oil is cloudy with a green hue, herbaceous aroma and 'pizzicante' flavor. (Pizzicante is an Italian phrase that describes the strong flavor that grips the back of your throat and is characteristic of most Tuscan olive oils.) As the oil ages it will mellow slightly and become clearer as the sediment drops to the bottom of the tin. The colorful packaging is beautiful enough to leave on your countertop and makes a terrific gift!

• Net quantity of 101 ounces
• Cold-pressed oil
• When the tins are first opened, the oil is cloudy with a green hue, herbaceous aroma and 'pizzicante' flavor
• Will mellow slightly and become clearer as the sediment drops to the bottom of the tin

User questions & answers

Question:	How long will the opened can of olives, transferred to glass jars and kept in the brine, keep fresh in the refrigerator
Answer:	Don't know about the fridge, but I have kept mine in large glass jars for months on my counter. I drain off the brine and make up another solution using organic EVOO, hot, whole, small peppers (for a little kick), and the olives marinate, the longer the better. I'll give some away in small jars as hostess gifts, serve as hoerderves, snack on them, whatever. For me, the olives hold up well and stay firm. That large can filled up a gallon size Ball jar and a 1/2 gal one at the same time. It makes quite an impressive display while marinating. I've kept them out on the counter for about 3 1/2 months. Delicious! Have not just opened them and placed in the fridge.
Question:	Is the description wrong? I see 101 oz tin in the title and 3 oz net of oil in the description. How much olive oil is in this tin
Answer:	Jo, it's 101 oz, 3 liters (not oz as in the description). The company should correct that because observant people like you may not buy when they see that.
Question:	Love the oil, but don't like how it makes a mess of the can when it pours. Is there a technique to avoid a mess on the can after use
Answer:	When you buy a tin of olive oil you need to make a hole with a nail at the other opposite end of the opening of the spigot. This helps the breathing of the can when pouring in to an olive oil canister. make sure to cover the nail hole with the same nail as to not permit any critters to fall in. Your problems will be solved.
Question:	I see complaints about pouring, how does everyone else do it who love this oil
Answer:	someone help - how do you remove the pour spout from the olive oil glass bottle?

Our Premium Olive Oils

This Colavita Premium Selection Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the quintessential everyday oil that is well balanced between fruit and spice and delicate in flavor. We have sourced selections from new harvest oils to create this traditional Colavita flavor, which represents the Colavita family legacy. Cold production obtained exclusively from olives harvested in one or more of these countries: Italy (I), Greece (GR), Spain (E) or Portugal (P). Imported from Italy, this Premium Selection Extra Virgin Olive Oil bears the North American Olive Oil Association (NAOOA) Quality Seal, which means it has been tested for both quality and authenticity according to the International Olive Council (IOC) standards.

As a trusted family company we want to ensure our customers that our products are authentic. The Cermet seal certifies that Colavita Premium Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil is obtained exclusively from olives harvested and pressed in Italy.

What is 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' or simply, 'the best'.

Why Olive Oil?

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).

Only organization collecting samples off the shelf at the point of retail sale, which is especially important in measuring quality, which can change over time or with handling.

Only organization performing the full International Olive Council (IOC) tests for authenticity (i.e., purity).

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.

Grades of Olive Oil

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

The highest grade and most versatile due to the range of flavor profiles available. Virgin oil must be unrefined, have less than 0.8% free oleic acid and exhibit superior taste and aroma.

Virgin Olive Oil

Virgin olive oil is also unrefined but has a higher level of oleic acid and less bold flavor than extra virgin olive oil.

Olive Oil

Olive oil is a blend of virgin and refine. Heat and chemicals are used in the process of extracting oil and removing flaws. Olive oil contains less than 1% of oleic acid and is a household all-purpose cooking oil.

Olive Pomace Oil

Olive pomace oil is a lesser quality. It is a blend of refined pomace oil and virgin olive oil. Its mild taste is the result of a refining process using chemicals.

Refined Oil

Refined olive oil is made from refining virgin olive oils that have a high acidity level to eliminate defects. It is generally tasteless, colorless, and has no odor.
