Our single varietal extra virgin olive oils are our company's 'rotating taps'. Chosen for their excellence from around the globe, these oils are not here to stay. While certain strains are grown in multiple climates, say Picual, their tasting notes vary and can stand side-by-side as different oils. Accordingly our presentation of these oils will vary according to growing seasons in the hemispheres, and in following the best crops available.
