Organic Olive Oil

Olive oil. The oil of the Gods.

About 2,700 years ago, Homer referred to olive oil as “liquid gold”. When he wrote that in his “Odyssey”, humans had already been pressing oil from the fruit of the olive tree for over 3,000 years. The ancients used the oil for religious rituals, medicines, soap making, fuel, skin care, lamp fuel, and of course, food. Best of all, back then all olive oil would have been organic olive oil.

Today we sing the praises of olive oils great versatility, wonderful flavor, and proven health benefits. What more could you want from a food!

Please take a look at our great selection of organic olive oils. Whether you choose an organic extra-virgin oil for drizzling or finishing off that special sauce, or you prefer a lighter flavored organic virgin olive oil for your grandmothers salad dressing recipe, we’re sure that each of our organic oils will leave you happy and healthy.

All of our oils are certified organic, and most are from small high-end producers. For instance, in Italy there’s an old monastery and farm on 480 acres of pristine mountaintop overlooking the Adriatic Sea. It’s been around since 1388. This is where Montebello Organic Olive Oil comes from. Handpicked and handpressed using Old World traditions, the handcrafted oil that seeps from these olives is the culmination of over 600 years of craftsmanship. Montebello Artisan Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is classic Italian – and it is simply the finest organic olive oil we’ve found.

For an everyday oil, we like Napa Valley Naturals Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Medium bodied and delicious, this cold pressed and unrefined oil from California is always a part of our everyday cooking.
