FAQs
-
Is this oil organic?
Our producers all farm organically to the EU standard without any synthetics or chemical "cides". However, as we only work with small farms, some have not yet been certified—which is why we cannot legally label them as “organic”, unless they have the certification.
Many of them, however, are well on their way in the conversion and audit process (it takes a few years), so we hope to share more soon.This year, our core Greek and Spanish EVOO and our Italian Extra Rare are all certified organic, as well as Soil Association certified.

Is this cold-pressed?
In short, yes. No heat or chemicals are used to extract our extra virgin olive oils. And we have third-party lab reports open for each oil to showcase that.
However, the term “cold-pressed” is really just a marketing buzzword (particularly when used by other non-olive oils).By legal definition in the EU, extra virgin olive oil must be extracted without any heat or chemicals and only comes from the “first pressing” (more like crushing) of the olives—which is exactly how we make our EVOOs.
