Ayvalik Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil

$35.00

Renowned for its striking green hue, this Ayvalik olive oil is celebrated for its rich, herbaceous profile. It offers vibrant notes of herbs, unripe olives, and green banana, paired with a peppery kick and a balanced hint of bitterness. These characteristics, along with its fruity undertones, make it a standout among high-class oils.

This Ultra-Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil, crafted from the Ayvalik (Eye-vah-luk) olive variety, originates from Zagoda Farm in the Manisa region of Turkey. Hand-harvested and cold-pressed within hours at a temperature below 80°F (65°F max), this olive oil ensures exceptional freshness and quality. To maintain its nutritional value, the oil is filtered through paper filters and bottled in dark glass to shield it from harmful UV rays.

Acidity: 0.3% (Ultra-premium quality; EVOO must be below 0.8%)
