Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil

What is organic olive oil?

Organic refers to the way the olives are cultivated. The farmer does not use artificial fertilizers to force growth, nor does he use synthetic or chemical pesticides. The olive tree grows at its own pace in healthy soil.

The importance for the earth and the environment

Organic farming works with nature instead of forcing it. By not using synthetic agents, groundwater remains pure, and the natural fertility of the soil is not depleted. This ensures a healthy balance in the olive grove, where insects, plants, and trees are given space.

Choosing unprocessed health

Much of today's food supply is heavily processed. Fortunately, true extra virgin olive oil is one of the purest and healthiest products nature has to offer. By choosing the organic variant, you opt for a healthy product that respects the rhythm of nature. It is olive oil in its purest form: pure, unprocessed, and rich in natural polyphenols (antioxidants).

Why buy organic oil from The Olive Label?

The olive oils in our selection are all certified by an independent EU laboratory. Organic is an important starting point for us, but we also look at the quality of the olive oil itself. Because values can vary per harvest and type of oil, we make our own selection within the organic range:

• Selection by quality: We look for organic oils produced with care and respect for nature. Wherever possible, we opt for early harvest, which results in an oil with a higher concentration of nutrients and a naturally low acidity.
• Taste and stability: Our selection is not only a treat when cold, but due to its quality, it is also very stable and therefore suitable for both cold use and frying and roasting.
• Direct contact: We buy directly from small family businesses in Italy, Greece, Spain, and Portugal. We know most of them personally.

We choose quality and fair origin, where craftsmanship is more important than the highest turnover.
