It is common for extra virgin olive oils to go rancid on the shelf, which is why we’ve gone to extra lengths to protect ours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat makes us different is that we don’t wait until winter when the olives are over-ripe. Instead, we harvest in the fall, when the olives are at the peak of freshness: green, with just a hint of violet. Olives then come to our mill to produce brilliant oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe store the oil in a climate-controlled cellar until packaged. We taste test each batch before packaging it in a proprietary oxygen-free FlavorLock Box. This protects the oil from flavor damaging light and air to the very last drop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere’s a reason our extra virgin olive oil is used by chefs. It’s because we hand-craft our oils to match their use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Cortopassi family came to California from the Old Country in search of a better life. We had little in the way of material possessions but brought a family tradition of real food based on farm-fresh flavors of \"la vera cucina\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Nonna Teresa Cortopassi taught us, \"The key to good food is starting with the freshest, best ingredients and cooking them in your own way.\" Nonna's way is how we still cook today!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFAMILY FARMING - REAL OLIVE OIL\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany of our family's favorite foods rely on fresh and flavorful olive oil. In Nonna's time, Italian olive oil came from olives hand-picked in the Fall. It was full of fresh flavor and met our family's passion for good food.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever, times changed and, for lack of labor, the olive harvest in Europe evolved from hand-picking in the Fall to mechanical \"tree-shaking\" in the Winter. The result was oil which no longer tasted fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause we have always been farmers, we found a new way to grow and pick olives in the Fall, which makes fresh and flavorful oil that Nonna Teresa would embrace!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt tastes so fresh and so good that we established the Corto Olive Company!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur olives are harvested at peak freshness when they are green with a hint of violet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCold-extracted within hours of being harvested straight off the tree.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur climate controlled cellar keeps our oils perfectly fresh until they are ready to be packaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur Oxygen-Free FlavorLock Box system keeps light and air out, but all the freshness in.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FreshMart","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42256746840139,"sku":"B00YG1DWP4","price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/4550\/4843\/files\/61gwPYQ-4GL._SX679.jpg?v=1774814759","url":"https:\/\/freshmart1.com\/products\/corto-truly%c2%ae-100-extra-virgin-olive-oil-floral-notes-cold-extracted-in-state-of-the-art-mill-straight-from-official-corto-olive-groves-amp-oil-producer-oxygen-free-light-free-flavorlock","provider":"FreshMart","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
