FAQs – Unfiltered Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
What makes this olive oil special?
This is an authentic Italian extra virgin olive oil that is left unfiltered to preserve its natural flavor, aroma, and antioxidant-rich olive particles. It’s minimally processed and crafted to reflect the true character of the olives.
Why is the oil cloudy?
Cloudiness is completely natural in unfiltered olive oil. It comes from fine olive sediment that would normally be removed during filtering and is a sign of freshness and minimal handling.
Does the sediment affect quality or safety?
Not at all. The sediment is safe and natural. You may gently swirl the bottle before use or let it settle — either is perfectly fine.
How should I use this olive oil?
This oil is ideal for drizzling over roasted vegetables, salads, soups, grilled meats, bread, and finished dishes. It adds depth and richness wherever olive oil flavor matters.
Can I cook with it?
Yes. It can be used for everyday cooking at low to medium heat. Because it’s unfiltered and aromatic, it’s especially lovely added at the end of cooking for maximum flavor.
How should I store it?
Store in a cool, dark place away from heat and direct sunlight. Always keep the bottle tightly sealed to protect freshness.
What is the shelf life?
Unopened, it will keep until the best-before date on the bottle. Once opened, we recommend using it within 6–12 months for the best taste and aroma.
Is this olive oil gluten-free and suitable for special diets?
Yes. This olive oil is naturally gluten-free, vegan, non-GMO, and contains no additives, preservatives, or artificial ingredients.
Why does the oil thicken in cold weather?
Olive oil naturally becomes cloudy or semi-solid at cooler temperatures. This is normal and reverses once the oil returns to room temperature.
Pairs beautifully with: Lamb leg roasts, roast potatoes, grilled vegetables, fresh bread, and simple Mediterranean-style dishes.
This unfiltered Italian olive oil is a natural companion to herb- and spice-rubbed meats. It pairs especially well with our Artisanal Lamb Rub, helping lock in moisture and enhance flavor when roasting, grilling, or pan-searing lamb.
