Our naturally infused Lime high polyphenol Sicilian olive oil is made with just two ingredients: freshly picked limes and cold-pressed Sicilian olives. It has a fresh, zesty, tart lime flavour with none of the artificial flavourings found in most supermarket citrus oils — just real fruit and high-quality oil.
Use it anywhere you'd use fresh lime: dress salads, noodles, stir-fries and curries, drizzle it over rare tuna steak, prawns, fish or chicken, glug it into guacamole, or add it to fajitas, burritos and any Mexican or Thai dish. Because it's a high polyphenol oil, you get the peppery health benefits of a genuine extra virgin alongside the citrus.
The limes and olives are handpicked from the orchards and groves on the Disisa Estate in Northern Sicily, washed and cold-pressed together — the Di Lorenzo family ensure only a matter of hours passes between picking and pressing, as the freshness of the ingredients is crucial to the flavour. To add even more zing, they then infuse the zest of more fresh limes into the oil for a few days, stirring and tasting until it's perfect, before removing the zest and bottling it exclusively for The Gift of Oil.

Lime olive oil FAQs
How is your olive and lime oil made?
Whole limes and Sicilian olives are cold-pressed together within hours of picking, then fresh lime zest is infused into the oil for a few days for extra zing, before it's removed and the oil is bottled.
What can I use lime olive oil for?
It's perfect for Thai and Mexican dishes: noodles, curries, stir-fries, guacamole and fajitas. It's also lovely drizzled over prawns, crab, tuna or chicken.
Which balsamic goes with lime oil?
Try our Green Apple balsamic for a fresh, crisp dressing, or our White Balsamic over crab, scallops or prawns.
Can you cook with lime infused olive oil?
Yes, but you'll get the most flavour by adding it towards the end of cooking or drizzling it over the finished dish, as high heat dulls the citrus.
How should I store it?
Keep it somewhere cool and dark with the cap tightly closed, and follow the storage advice on the bottle. Like all olive oil, it's best enjoyed within a few months of opening.
