Product Description

Olive Grove Farmhouse olive oil is a family business. We harvest our own olives and take them to the local co-operative press which is also a family business! 

The oil comes from the Picual Olive Tree which is re-known for it's flavour and high burning point. This means the oil is delicious for drizzling on bread, pizza and salad. It is also excellent for cooking with.

Harvesting is end of December into January. However for the 'peppery' and 'extra peppery' olive oil, harvesting is earlier. The Spanish call it "bitter" and "extra bitter" and this relates to the ripeness of the olive. If harvested end October, the oil is "extra bitter". If harvested in November the oil is "bitter". We prefer the work 'peppery' as it depicts the taste better than 'bitter'.

Today's proven health advantages of using olive oil is now well documented. It is better used in cooking than butter and than some other oils. Plus there is the vitamin E content, antioxidant etc. 
We have only just started importing our oil into the UK and it is currently selling well at produce markets across the south of England. We can sell to you in almost any quantity you require and relevant discounts are given according to quantity ordered.

We have chosen black tin containers for the following reasons:
1. The property and quality of the oil changes and deteriorates if in clear glass and exposed to sunlight.
2. Glass is heavy to transport
3. Glass is breakable
4. With out attractive containers and labelling the products bodes well as a gift.
5.Retail outlets will be offering a different and attractive image to sell the olive oil.
6. We provide a display stand for the oil to promote it (there is a charge for the stand
7. We provide info leaflets on the oil free of charge.
