How it is made?
In late autumn our Italian olives are slowly shaken from their branches using a machine, also known as the ‘scuotitura’ method, which minimises the impact on wildlife, especially nesting and sleeping birds.
Once harvested the oil is made using a cold extraction method, which is when the olives are simply pressed mechanically without external sources of heat or chemicals applied to the process. The cold extraction method allows the oil to retain more of its flavour and nutritional value creating a much higher quality product.
Once the oil is extracted from the raw ingredient, it needs to be further processed to remove any residual particles that might be left from the extraction process. Oils will fall into two categories at this stage: refined and unrefined. Like the pressing process, heat is one of the key elements which defines the method. Refined oils are subjected to heat pressure at this stage. Unrefined oil, such as our Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, is processed much more gently using filters rather than heat after extraction. Like cold pressing, this helps the oil retain more of its flavour and nutritional properties, which would otherwise be degraded with the application of external heat.
Virgin vs Extra Virgin Olive Oil
There is one key difference between extra virgin and virgin olive oil: acidity level. If the oil has an acidity level less than or equal to 0.8%, it is classified as extra virgin. If the oil has an acidity level between 0.8% and 2%, it is graded as just virgin. Any olive oil with an acidity level above this is falls into the conventional olive oil varieties.

The oil is cold-extracted, not cold-pressed. I was disappointed to see that when the oil arrived as the information here is labelling it as cold-pressed (in the questions to this product and categorisation). Please fix the misleading information. I wouldn't have bought it if I knew it.
Hi Martina,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Regarding the term cold-extraction, we used to use the term cold-pressed, but due to strict regulations in the EU for Olive Oil, we changed the term to cold-extracted.
Before the regulation, the cold-extracted method was considered the accepted modern 'cold-pressing' technique.
However, the term cold-pressed can now only apply to the ancient traditional technique of hydraulic press, that is not commonly used anymore.
For further clarification, the cold-extraction technique is obtained at a temperature below 27°C (the same temperature as the traditional cold-pressed technique), by centrifugation.
Sorry about the confusion with the cold-pressed wording elsewhere on the website. We will look into rectifying this right away.
Thank you for the feedback and for flagging this up.

P
Only been trying for 2 weeks.
Too early to tell if I am gaining the benefits from a daily tablespoon
L
Top quality and top taste. The best everyday olive oil on the market.
c
this must be fake oil as it doesnt solidify when put in the fridge. this is the only way to test if oil is real or undiluted
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
It’s true that generally triglycerides in EV olive oils tend to solidify at low temperatures (<4°C).
This can happen more quickly or less depending on the quantity of triglycerides, the quantity of oil and the temperature.
The domestic refrigerator temperature is usually too high (>4°C) to see this phenomenon in a short time, it will need several days, maybe more than 1 week.
We never do this test since it’s not reliable, we do professional accredited laboratory tests to verify the quality and authenticity of the olive oil.
Many websites use this test as click-bait with titles such as “Do this test etc. etc.”

For the money, it's the best olive oil out there. Mild flavour and a beautiful peppery finish. I use it for everything.
T
This is my everyday oil, it is the one of preference. It can be used for frying, including stirfry up to a high temperature.(I use Clearspring as an excellent oil. I use their avocado for salads and delicate taste
M
The best
G
Nice tasting oil, I am no expert but I have been trying different oils as some seem really cheap. Its very hard to find a decent one but this one seems different. There’s definitely a peppery kick at the back of your throat which is always a good sign. I would definitely recommend.

Italian extra virgin olive oil is the same or even higher quality as you would get in Italy, it can withstand the scrutiny of a local mama!
J

B
Great oil - organic + fresh. So good with salads.
P
I don't normally buy my EVOO from Clearspring but I could be converted now! This oil is so delicious. A little goes a long way and my favourite is a little drizzled over tomatoes or butter lettuce with salt and pepper. The taste is exceptional. It's also wonderful to cook with on a low flame and a lovely base for when I make sauces or pesto. I will probably stick with this EVOO going forwards!
D
My favourite olive oil
