User questions & answers

Question:	Does the label say "First Cold Press
Answer:	Yes

User questions & answers

Question:	Polyphenol count
Answer:	The polyphenol count is not noted anywhere. This is a good olive oil for everyday cooking. It is not bitter so my gut feel is it may not have high polyphenol count.
Question:	how much is in each bottle
Answer:	16.9 (Fl Oz) per Bottle it also comes is other sizes for (Everyday EVOO) - 25 (Fl Oz) - 33 (Fl Oz) - and Chef Size 47 (Fl Oz)
Question:	is this organic olive oil
Answer:	not knowing your definition of "organic" I can only tell you is is NON-GMO Verified, KETO Certified, PALEO Certified, WHOLE 30 Certified. And per the website, has State of California Certification that no other substances are used to cut the EVOO, so I consider it pure.
Question:	Is this from 100% california grown olives? i know what the post says, but comments on another california olive ranch product makes me wary
Answer:	The bottles labled Destination Series, and harvested in the 2017-2018 harvest season are not from 100% California grown olives. The label on the basic bottle you can find in stores now says Destination Series and says the olives are sourced from growers in California, Argentina, Chile, and Portugal, then refined and bottled in California. It does NOT have the California Olive Oil Council seal. It does have a seal in place of that saying it is certified Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I have an older bottle on hand from the 2015 harvest. The label says it uses 100% California grown olives and it has the California Olive Oil Council seal. This is the one Cooks Illustrated recommended where they explained olive sourcing and why it is better to buy from companies that bottle close to and soon after harvest. Many loyal customers, as you can see in the reviews, are upset about this, thinking California Olive Ranch betrayed them. They have been buying for a while and probably didn't look closely at the label. I can't blame them for feeling baited and switched. If this disappoints you, as it did me, wait for the next harvest before dismissing California Olive Ranch entirely. I have no affiliation or insider knowledge but I believe this is only a temporary change due to a bad harvest. In fact, the company's CEO is on record in the NY Times as saying the 2018 California olive harvest was a disaster for growers due to the unseasonably cold winter (elsewhere, it was reported it sent CA olive oil manufactures scrambling to find olives to stay afloat and meet demand) and that they had established partnerships with other countries a few years ago in case of this very situation. He also said at least 26% of the oil in each Destination Series bottle is from California. It was also in the news late last year that California Olive Ranch is expanding their plantings by 2000 acres, which should help mitigate less productive years.

• These trees are beautiful and truly ancient, with some over a 1000 years old.
• They grow in the hillside rocks and must be harvested carefully by hand.
• Being among such majestic trees with their gnarled trunks and bountiful branches was something that touched our soul.

THE SOURCE & HISTORY OF KERÓS

• Olive trees in Vordonia are among the oldest in the world, dating centuries and even millenia.
• Gianni's family has lived in this quaint village on the outskirts of Sparta on Mount Taygetos for many generations. They harvest an ancient Athenian varietal in the arid rock, which creates truly elegant flavors and promotes good health.
• The oil from this tiny village is renowned by the locals.

• KEROS is a true organic superfood, freshly harvested from 1000 year old trees at elevation in Greece. Estate grown in Vordonia, in the mountains above Sparta, Greece. Rare Athenoelia single varietal. Protected Geographical Indication.

User questions & answers

Question:	What harvest date is being shipped now? What expiration date
Answer:	Harvest was fall of 2019 and expiration date is 12/31/2021. Also, the low acidity gives this oil a very long shelf life - it will still be good beyond that.
Question:	when will the 2020 harvest be available in this size
Answer:	Dear Yellow.Jacket, The harvest just finished. They are being packaged and will ship first thing 2021. They will ship and arrive about a month from now. We had the farmers pick an extra early harvest version (all green olives) which will arrive in about a week and will be available on our web site. But those will be smaller bottles. Thank you and have a Happy New Year! -The Ancient Foods Team
Question:	Is there a harvest date on the label
Answer:	The date is to the right lower corner of the handle Mine is: BEST. Befor/12/2021 LN/13012020
Question:	Very happy to have found this extra virgin first-press olive oil from ancient olive trees ~ yet refrigeration did not solidify - what is wrong
Answer:	Some olive oil producers "winterize" their oils so that it doesn't become inconveniently solid on cellar shelves during the winter. They chill the oil and filter out the wax that solidifies or clumps up. In this way, they can ensure that their oil is always pourable. Because this 100% oil does not solidify when chilled does not mean that it has been cut with inferior oils or that it is not the real thing. It just means that they used the "winterize" process so as to keep the oil fluid when cold. Different solutes within the oil solidify at different temperatures which enables the producer to separate out the solutes that become solid when chilled which leaves the solutes that do not solidify to allow for easy pouring. Hope this helps..

Question:	Is this mixed oils from different countries

Question:	Is it DOP or PDO desiganted
Answer:	I went back to the Amazon listing for this item and found no mention of DOP or PDO designation and nothing is indicated on the tin of oil. I did, however, find a D.P.O. designation for a different Zoe product temporarily unavailable.http://www.amazon.com/Zoe-Select-Olive-Variety-25-36/dp/B00NJP09WM - Who can know?

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.

Colavita’s Premium Olive Oils

Colavita Premium Selection Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the quintessential everyday oil which 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. Imported from Italy, our 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.(Certified by IndLab on September 3, 2019)

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)

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. (Certified by IndLab on September 3, 2019)

Olive Oil Grades

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.

Answer:	It comes in organic and regular. I buy whatever is available. Only oil I use. It is the best.
Question:	Is this the unfiltered version
Answer:	I believe it is unfiltered... Perhaps partially filtered... It is a green oil and has some fine sediment in it. Shows as cloudy when shaken up.... It is a great oil. Don't cook with it that removes the wonderful flavor.... Lew Mitchell
