Flavor & Intensity Guide
Delicate & Fruity
Light, smooth and gently aromatic. Ideal for salads, white fish, steamed vegetables and dishes where you want a soft, elegant touch.
Medium Intensity
Balanced oils with green fruit notes and a light peppery finish. Perfect as an everyday extra virgin olive oil for cooking, roasting, dipping and finishing.
Robust & Peppery
Full-bodied oils with a pronounced grassy aroma and spicy finish. Best for grilled meats, hearty soups, bruschetta and recipes where the oil should really stand out.
If you’re not sure where to start, try pairing a

with lighter dishes and a

with stronger flavors.
Serving & Pairing Ideas
• Drizzle over grilled vegetables, steaks, roasted chicken or fish just before serving for a fresh, aromatic finish.
• Use as a simple sauce with warm crusty bread, sea salt and a few olives.
• Finish
pasta,
risotto
or soups with a spoonful of extra virgin olive oil instead of butter.
• Combine with vinegar or lemon juice for quick, clean salad dressings.
• Create a tasting flight by serving two or three different intensities side by side with bread.
Looking for an easy starting point? Try a versatile

oil for everyday cooking, then add a more robust bottle for finishing and tasting.
Storage & Care Tips
• Store bottles away from heat, light and direct sun – a cool pantry or cabinet is ideal.
• Keep the cap tightly closed to protect the oil from air and oxidation.
• For best quality, enjoy extra virgin olive oil within a few months of opening rather than saving it for years.
• Avoid keeping bottles right next to the stove, where heat can shorten shelf life and dull flavor.
