The Basilippo family olive grove outside of Sevilla produces exceptional olives that are pressed on-site just hours after harvest. The resulting organic cold-pressed olive oil has a full, balanced flavor perfect for salads, pastas or for dipping with fresh bread. Basilippo organic extra virgin olive oil is a blend of fruity Arbequina and smooth Manzanilla oils. These two olives have a pleasant herbal flavor, with hints of tomato and artichoke. It is a delicious medium intensity oil with a lot of versatility in the kitchen. When we visited, we watched as each bottle was filled and numbered by hand. Olive trees have grown on this land since the Bronze Age, when it was known as a holy tree. Today the company, founded by the Morillo family, honors this ancient tradition, but also uses the most modern olive pressing equipment to preserve this delicious oil at peak condition. Store in a cool, dark place.

Excellent olive oil
We actually visited the Basilippo olive farm in Spain where this product is made. The family-owned company takes the utmost pride and care in growing and producing this top quality olive oil. It is light, fresh, and clean on the palette and pairs well with any food you would use olive oil with. At the farm, we did a taste test of the various flavors of olive oil produced there and were instructed to pour this particular one over ice cream! It was insanely delicious!!!

Past the “best before date”
This olive oil is truly delicious and I’ve purchased many times in the past, but this purchase was most disappointing. Both bottles have “best before” dates of 09/2019 and I received them on 1/28/2020. Amazon says not returnable. Hey Markys, what will you do to take care of your poor quality control?? I’ll update my review if the issue gets addressed. Otherwise, be aware you may get an out of date product.

Very Nice!
How can you go wrong with Spanish Olive Oil? The taste is light and fresh. As an added bonus - the bottle it comes in is beautiful!

Dissapointed
I went to the estate in Portugal and did a tasting there. This was not the same. Sad.
