Frequently Asked Questions
Where do Olearium’s olive oils come from?
Our collection is sourced from selected producers in Italy, with a focus on Tuscany and Puglia. Each oil is chosen for its traceable origin, distinctive olive variety and authentic regional character.
What makes extra virgin olive oil different?
Extra virgin olive oil is obtained directly from olives using mechanical methods and must meet strict chemical and sensory standards. Its flavour can range from delicate and fruity to robust, bitter and peppery, depending on the variety, harvest and production method.
How do I choose the right olive oil?
Choose according to flavour and use. Delicate oils work beautifully with fish, vegetables and gentle dressings, while more robust oils complement grilled food, soups, aged cheese and dishes that need a confident finishing note. Each product page includes origin and tasting information to help you decide.
How should I store extra virgin olive oil?
Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight, heat and the cooker. Use the oil within the best-before period and, once opened, enjoy it regularly while its aroma and flavour are at their freshest.
