🌳 From Grove to Bottle
Freshness begins in the grove. Ultra-premium extra virgin olive oil is made from carefully harvested olives and evaluated through both laboratory chemistry and professional sensory assessment to confirm quality, freshness, and flavor integrity.
🏅 What Does Ultra-Premium Mean?
The Ultra-Premium (UP) Standard identifies extra virgin olive oils that exceed basic EVOO requirements through stricter chemistry, freshness, sensory, and quality benchmarks.
UP oils are lab tested, harvest dated, and evaluated for freshness markers such as Free Fatty Acids (FFA), Peroxide Value (PV), DAGs, PPP, antioxidant content, flavor integrity, and overall quality.
Unlike many mass-market olive oils, ultra-premium oils are selected for traceability, freshness, chemistry, and sensory performance.
