The Olive Oil Guide

Understanding olive oil, made simple.

Behind a great olive oil lies a terroir, a variety, expertise, and a thousand-year-old culture. Through these guides, we share the knowledge that drives us every day to help you better choose, better cook, and better appreciate extra virgin olive oil.

Olive oil is one of the most iconic products of Mediterranean gastronomy, yet also one of the most misunderstood.

How do you recognize a true extra virgin olive oil? Why are some oils more bitter or more pungent? What is the difference between a green fruitiness and a ripe fruitiness? How do you choose your oil based on what you are cooking? What are the quality criteria? What is the influence of a terroir or a variety?

These are all questions we answer through this knowledge center, designed to support both the curious and the discerning enthusiast alike.

Feel free to explore the different topics or let yourself be guided according to your preferences.
