Young Olives Premium Oil

The greener the olive, the higher the antioxidants and polyphenols-and the more vibrant the flavor. Early harvest means less yield, but exceptional quality.

This is my absolute favorite EVOO. I had it to everything I make or eat.

I’m going to need to buy 2 or 3 bottles next time.
