—Virgin Olive Oil—

We’ve always been firm advocates of cooking with extra virgin olive oil, that’s where these re-labelled pouches come in: 2024's extra virgin harvest becomes this year’s virgin cooking oil in this 1 litre bundle (2 X 500ml pouches).

Our ‘virgin’ pouches are still technically extra virgin, by the standards of the industry—and much better quality than any commodity EVOO you might pick off the shelves. But, because we believe that freshness should be a prerequisite for the ‘extra virgin’ label, we couldn’t in good conscience continue to offer them to our community when the new harvest is already in.

You called for a cooking oil, and we had pouches that needed a home. It was a no-brainer. Here's to second chances...

It's also a part of our impact commitments to minimise any waste across the business, and aligns with our B Corp certification.

Harvest: Nov-Dec 2024.

Process: Superior category virgin olive oil obtained directly from mechanical (never chemical) means. The olives are milled within 24 hours of being picked. This oil was filtered for quality and freshness.

These pouches will range from different batches from different producers. Still with all the credentials that you expect from us—regenerative, female-led growers producing exceptional olive oil—but from last year’s (2024) harvest.

Best for cooking, so we don’t recommend these as finishing oils now that they are past their prime. Harvested over a year ago, their vibrant aromas and flavour profile will have mellowed. Instead, use them to sauté, roast, fry, sear, bake, braise or grill.

100% olives from small batches. Nothin' but the juice, baby.

How to use

Time to do some myth-busting. You can—and should—cook with extra virgin olive oil. In fact, it's the healthiest fat you can cook with. While many reserve EVOO to dress salads or dip bread, we take our cues from the Med, where they roast, fry, and cook just about everything in it. Studies also show it actually increases the nutritional value of what it cooks!

From hearty bean stews to luxurious chocolate mousse, no dish is complete without a finish of liquid gold. Like your salt, pepper, or squeeze of lemon, think of olive oil as a seasoning, a final drizzle to bring the flavours together.

Call it a ritual, a cure, or a lifestyle—a spoonful a day can go a long way. If you want to really feel the benefits of EVOO, studies suggest you need between 25-50ml a day. For some, a daily morning spoonful is a great way to act as a prebiotic and support nutritional absorption from the start.

Extra virgin olive oil is not just for bread and savoury foods or dishes, it's a staple in sweet goods across the Mediterranean. Swap out butter in your cookies or crumble topping, use it in homemade granola, or wow your guests with a liquid gold cake like the Greek classic Portokalopita.
