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:	on the large tin, the 1 liter..what is the spout like? sometimes on the tins when you pour it, it gets all over the top. picture
Answer:	I use this tin also. What I do is, after pouring, before standing the tin upright I have a paper towel handy and wipe the excess. This prevents the residual oil from running all over the top of the tin. I will then use a damp paper towel to clean further.
Question:	How long is the shelf life
Answer:	Current Inventory has a shelf life of more than 18 months. But this changes all the time as we receive new inventory or sell thru.
Question:	Is this organic
Answer:	While not officially organic, my experience with similar products indicates that some European companies refrain from the expense and process of obtaining a certified organic product. Specifically, a few small business owners have mentioned that the certification only verifies that at least 70% of the product is organic; meaning, the remaining 30% is potentially unknown as to its quality. Possibly inquiring to the company directly about its harvesting techniques, pesticide usage, etc. can provide some enlightenment.
Question:	Does this olive oil have a full bodied taste? Is the taste "light" on the olive oil flavor, or jam packed and heavily flavored
Answer:	Ellora Farms PDO Kolymvari Extra Virgin Olive Oil has a plush, fruity bouquet of a true Cretan Extra Virgin Olive Oil and a singular peppery soupcon. The body is light and perfect for either cooking, salad dressings or applying to hair or body. This is a traceable Olive Oil and far far different than adulterated oils available in the market today.

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.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this really for 1 Litre? The picture shows a 750 ml tin
Answer:	The one in the photo is the Organic version of the same oil, which is 750ml. The non-organic Zoe Extra Virgin is indeed 1 Litre.
Question:	What is the harvest year
Answer:	Hmmmmmmmm, I wonder if you can look up the number put on products so the manufacturer can identify the batch and when it was bottled, or in this case canned (in case a particular batch poisons a couple of people, they want to know). Ah, find that number and access this link http://blog.zoebrand.com/?page_id=417 (link also tells you where to look on the bottle or can)
Question:	Is this ok for use in bedroom playtime...wink wink
Answer:	Yes. The label "extra virgin" signifies that it works very well with one who is a virgin. Getting what ever you have into the tightest of places is not too hard with this product.
Question:	I have been reading about fake olive oils - is this one that has been having problems with the oil not being real olive oil
Answer:	S. Corcoran, excuse me but the Olive Oil Times does not agree with you on "firming up" being a reliable indicator of EVOO purity. They reported on research done by the University of California Davis Olive Center: "Seven oil samples, including EVOO, lesser grade olive oils, olive oil blends and non-olive oils were placed in a refrigerator and checked at intervals up to 180 hours. Although no samples fully solidified, a sample of EVOO mixed with up to 50 percent lesser grade olive oil congealed in the bottles, meaning it could be interpreted as passing the refrigerator test even though it was not pure EVOO. The study concluded that the Fridge Test is not reliable for determining oil purity or quality."

• HOW TO STORE YOUR OLIVE OIL: California Olive Ranch places your EVOO in dark green bottles to help protect the integrity and life of your oil. We recommend storing it in a dark, cool place to keep it fresh. Unlike wine that can improve with age, olive oil is meant to be consumed fresh.
• RESTRICTED DIET FRIENDLY: Our extra virgin olive oils are verified non-GMO by the Non-GMO Project, and certified kosher by Orthodox Union. They are also Whole30 approved, certified paleo, keto verified, and vegan friendly. All oils at California Olive Ranch are certified "Extra Virgin" by Applied Sensory, passing both rigid chemical and sensory evaluations.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the press date
Answer:	The harvest date is now listed on each bottle, I just bought it at Walmart in Kirksville Mo with a date of Oct-Nov 2014. That means it was probably pressed in late 2014 and early 2015. It is the newest available. The last harvest. It is also cheaper if your Walmart carries it. Some don't. I am lucky this is wonderful.
Question:	Is this a glass or plastic bottle
Answer:	No, my purchase of CA Olive Oil just arrived May 2016 and it is Plastic. When I contacted amazon I was informed the manufacturer no longer uses glass bottles only plastic. The University of Davis study on storing Olive Oil states "plastic" is bad for the olive oil. I am very disappointed.
Question:	What is the acidity level of the oil
Answer:	I`m just a consumer, so i do not know. This olive oil tastes just like eating a green olive, so how acidic is that?
Question:	Is the bottle glass
Answer:	Since 2016 California Olive Oil is being packaged in plastic bottles not glass. Olive oil should not be stored in plastic. Please check to verify if bottle is glass or plastic before purchase.

Question:	Can fully dented. Afraid to open
Answer:	Good morning, Lisa! We want to sincerely apologize that your Olive Oil came damaged. We are shipped and sold by Amazon, so we do not pack our own items, which can sometimes lead to mistakes. This is an issue that we are aware of, and we are working with Amazon to resolve it. Please reach out to Amazon directly with your complaint, and if you are not fully satisfied with that resolution, please reach out to us directly at FilippoBerio.com/ContactUs. We recommend decanting the oil into another container to make everyday use easier!
Question:	Is this considered to be "non virgin" olive oil
Answer:	Not exactly. Judging by the manufacturers reply they don't know there products very well because they don't use any extra virgin. Under the ingredients it says "refined olive oils and virgin olive oils". So there's some virgin olive oil in there.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it good for dipping
Answer:	I haven’t used it that way, but I would imagine it is, as it is an excellent olive oil.
Question:	does the pour bottle have a spout
Answer:	(I’m out of town so don’t have it in front of me). It has a plastic insert that’s not a spout but just makes it a bit easier to pour. I still find it comes out pretty quick! Easy solution would be buy a spout to attach to the bottle, or transfer the oil to a bottle with a spout.
Question:	Is it considered “three cough olive oil
Answer:	I would say this is a milder oil. Not at all a 3 cough..no peppery taste....
Question:	I'm planning to use this on my face. Does it smell strongly
Answer:	I bought this product and absolutely love it! I use for cooking, dipping, brusetta, omg delicious!! I am very fussy with smelling my food before I eat it. This product never had a rancid smell like other oils. It has a beautiful greenish color and a delicate smell of olives. I have used on my skin at times! I don't think you will be disappointed!! Can't wait to order more.
