Varietal Extra Virgin Olive Oil

QUALITY ASSURANCE – We have our suppliers provide us with a CoA (Certificate of Analysis) which includes chemical testing data showing that it passed all the tests to qualify as extra virgin. This is where our competitors stop.

We go a step further and have our supplier send a sample of each batch to an independent testing lab here in the United States. These samples are tested to make sure it meets or exceeds the criteria to qualify for extra virgin.

We also have them do a separate purity test – additional testing to make sure that there are no other oils beside olive oil in the sample. It is possible to pass the initial chemical test to qualify as extra virgin with the addition of other oils such as canola, sunflower, hazelnut, etc. blended in. This is one of the ways competitors lower their costs and increase their profits.

We can provide all the CoAs and Independent Testing documents upon request.
