and most people have no idea they are being duped as they
consume smelly, rancid, flavorless olive oil that has been labeled EVOO… BUT flat out is NOT!(Quote from a book called 'Extra Virginity', by Tom Mueller)

The Freshest and Highest Quality Olive Oils available in the world today.
Chef Crisafulli, Olympic Chef since 2000, was recently in search of the finest ingredients to feed the U.S. and Canadian media members as well as some of the American Athletes. It was his stringent search for true quality when he found our products via our sole distributor and subsequently presented them for the first time at the 2014 Sochi Olympic Games. “The oils are one of the biggest hits in the commissary,” Crisafulli said. “It’s our first time with infused vinegars and the people have raved about them.

|
What questions do customers most frequently ask you? What is your answer?
|
|
A:
|
Where does your olive oil come from?
We ONLY source our olive oil from small estate mills ALL OVER THE WORLD who agree to follow our strict harvesting, transporting, crushing and processing criteria. Once the Olive Oil is produced, we have it laboratory tested in its country of origin, then again at the a 3rd party lab in to verify its Ultra Premium chemistry. Our Ultra Premium Standards are 18-84% higher than the International Standard. WHERE is not as important as WHEN and HOW the olive oil was extracted. Especially since 80% of what is exported from Italy has actually been imported into to Italy. Buyer Beware!
