Colavita Extra Virgin Olive Oil Cold Production

The Colavita family has been producing olive oil for over 50 years. The company was founded in 1956 by Mr. and Mrs. Carlo Colavita, who began their business with a single mill in the town of San Casciano Val di Pesa, near Florence. Today, Colavita is one of the most respected brands in Italy and around the world, known for its commitment to quality and excellence in every aspect of its production process.

Colavita’s cold production method preserves more of the olive’s natural flavors and nutrients than traditional methods do, which results in an extra virgin olive oil that tastes fresher and more vibrant than others on the market. This method also ensures that there are no chemicals or additives added during processing—only cold pressing and filtering are used to create a truly pure product!

Colavita Extra Virgin Olive Oil is made from the same olives that are used to produce the Colavita Italian Blend and Colavita Arbequina oils. The olives are grown in California’s Central Valley. The oil is cold-pressed using a mechanical process that preserves the natural flavors of the olives, which means no chemicals or heat are used during production.

Olive Oil FAQ:
Extra Virgin?
“Extra” is the highest grade for olive oil. Virgin oil may be called “extra” if it has less than 0.8% free oleic acid, and if it exhibits superior taste and aroma. Thus, the “extra” in extra virgin olive oil means “premium.”
Why Choose Extra Virgin?
Extra virgin olive oils are not processed or refined. Extra virgin olive oil is essentially “fresh squeezed” from the fruit of the olive tree, without alteration of the color, taste, and nutrients or vitamins. Because of the integrity of the product, and its antioxidant components, extra virgin olive oil will keep longer than all other vegetable oils.
Better than Butter?
Colavita olive oils can be used in place of butter or margarine in many recipes, such as on vegetables, rice, potatoes, and–yes–even baking! To try olive oil in your recipe, try our olive oil recipe converter.
