This oil was professionally packaged, delivered quickly and was delicious. I gave several away and, of course, kept one for my family. I love the sustainability of this company and it’s dedication to local eco-friendly orchard managing methods in California as well as it’s nutrient preserving extraction style. This is a delicious way to enhance your diet with omegas and trace minerals. I will be purchasing again soon!

I received a bottle of Apollo as a gift from a friend several years ago and now purchase Apollo regularly. I love the flavor of Apollo oils and dip bread in it and drizzle it on soups, salads, roasted vegetables and pasta dishes.
Thank you, Salud

The product is always consistently the best. It has great depth and the aroma is the first indicator of what to expect. Fresh bread, a little salt and pepper and your in heaven.

Enjoy the pictures from the beginning of this year’s harvest. The harvest is looking great this year which is a vast improvement over the challenges of last year. We will finish harvest in December, we will blend the oils in January, we bottle in February and our new oil comes out in mid February.

Rec

A frequent question we get is “How long will your oils last after opening?” The short answer is “Certainly long enough, if you enjoy the oil regularly.” Which, of course, we hope you will!

The more informative answer is “How long any olive oil lasts depends on a number of variables. Surprisingly, the most oxidative influence comes not from air or temperature, but from light. That’s why our oils are in bottles with opaque labels. Also of great importance for retaining freshness is the unusually high levels of antioxidant polyphenols in our oils, due to the unique milling equipment we have. Regarding heat, recent Greek research on EVOO in opaque containers (tin and bag-in-a-box) indicated that at 98°F extra virgin quality can last more than 100 days, and that it lasts about 120 days at 71 degrees after opening. From that, you can rest assured that summer transport temperatures aren’t critical, but keeping the bottles away from kitchen heat and enjoying the raw flavors within 3 months is a good idea.

As some of you may have already noticed, some of our bottles look a little different lately. Unfortunately, our bottle supplier has unexpectedly run out of stock, and the next production of our distinctive bottles in Italy isn’t scheduled until October. We had to find a different bottle to use in the meantime until our shipment arrives in November. This bottle lacks the beautiful curves, but has the same opaque label and easy pour spout.
