Experience the Tuscan Art of Olive Oil crafting in your everyday cooking with Carapelli Original Extra Virgin Olive Oil. This is a sustainable Extra Virgin olive oil blend certified by Intertek, a leading total quality assurance provider. To date, 70 olive oil mills have received certification, impacting more than 40,000 farmers covering nearly 680,000 acres of olive groves signaling a new era in making olive oil farming more environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable. Mediterranean cuisine’s most treasured ingredient, olive oil, has been a star throughout history. At Carapelli we’ve turned this natural method of olive oil production into an art since 1893. We get to know our olive groves intimately; we harvest at the peak of ripeness and we work with both oliari and blending masters who select the precise samples that will ensure Extra Virgin Olive Oil blends of impeccable quality. Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a living product, so care is taken at every step from selecting the best raw materials to bottling:
- Dark glass protects the olive oil from UV radiation, guaranteeing the best possible preservation of its color, flavor and aroma.
- The infinite spirals molded into the glass, besides lending an air of elegance, are designed to make the bottle nonslip and easy to hold.
- The spout is designed to dispense only the necessary amount of olive oil.
