How to purchase a 100% Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

On the market, there are hundreds of offers of Extra Virgin Olive Oil with prices ranging from less than €3 to more than €30 per liter. In most cases, these are products that are the result of refining or blends of oils of different origins. The standard, often mediocre, varies a lot.

Is it still possible for the final consumer to select and purchase a 100% Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil of guaranteed quality? Yes, it is possible.

Few common sense rules can help:

  1. Olive oil, unlike wine, does not improve over time. Always buy oil produced in the latest season of olive harvesting. In the Mediterranean area, the harvesting season runs approximately from October to January.

  2. It is cheaper to buy the quantity needed until the next production season.

  3. To be sure about origin and quality, always buy directly from the producer. The producer is the farm that cultivates, pick up and mills olives from the olive groves that they either own or manage.

  4. A consumer price of less than €9 per liter is not a guarantee of quality for a 100% Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil. The price increases as the distance from the place of production increases. Furthermore, the presence of intermediaries in the distribution process also augments price.

Azienda Agricola Gorrasi is a small farm that produces olive oil from olives grown and harvested from its own olive orchard.  New olive oil will be shipped in about six weeks.

For shipments within Italy shipping is free. For shipping within the European Union we apply a flat shipping cost of €28 which is about 50% lower than real cost.

Special terms apply for group orders. Please contact us for a quote.
