Product Information

Bertolli Extra Virgin Olive Oil has a pleasant aroma and good taste. It is commonly used on salad dressings, marinades, dips, kinds of pasta, pizzas, and many more. Regarding cooking and sautéing, it can be used for that purpose if you are not concerned about whether it is 100% pure olive oil. High Smoke Point: Olive oil has a high smoke point, which means it can be used for cooking at high temperatures without breaking down and producing harmful smoke. This makes it suitable for frying, sautéing, and other high-heat cooking methods. Frying: This is another common method of using olive oil in cooking. Frying usually involves heating a large amount of oil over high heat and dropping food into it until it is cooked through. You can use frying pans or deep fryers to do this!

To ensure all the olive oils in our blends are above the grade, Bertolli samples high-quality olive oils from around the world, visiting orchards throughout the year to determine the best crops. As growers send in their samples from Spain, Italy, Greece, Portugal, Argentina and more, Bertolli’s Chief Quality Officer Paula Lopes and team meticulously sift through the selection to find only the very best oils to use in different blends and markets.What does it mean when an oil fails an extra-virgin test? It essentially means that all of these oils claiming to be “extra-virgin” are actually cut with cheaper, lower-grade oils (like canola oil, sunflower oil or cola oil). The oil is them deodorized, coloured, and then flavoured and sold as “extra-virgin” oil to a producer. So it isn’t actually the company brand who is at fault here – it is the sneaky supplier at work.
