Since 2001 we have partnered with two highly reputable artisan family producers, the Di Lorenzo family in Sicily for our olive oils and the Verrini family in Modena for our balsamic vinegars. We visit both regularly and work very hard as a team whilst on a visit to ensure that together we continue to offer only the very finest finished product. Collectively we aim at our oils and balsamics being the best! The families over the years have become to us much more than mere suppliers and are now true and much valued friends. This partnership model is very unique in our field. Very few (if any) of our competitors create and nurture thier products in such a close and all embracing fashion.

Store your olive oil in a cool, dark place away from heat and light to maintain its flavor and freshness. Balsamic vinegar should also be kept in a cool, dark place and tightly sealed to preserve its quality. There is no need to refigerate either and is best avoided as good oil will go solid below temperatures of 4 degrees c.

Super premium extra virgin olive oils are packed full of polyphenols and in particular oleocanthal which when absorbed by the body can lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, can prevent DNA damage that can trigger cancer, can prevent the onset of dementia and the risk of alzheimers, will reduce the levels of bad cholesterol, will protect against heart disease, will reduce the risk of a stroke and willreduce the levels of high blood pressure.

Our top quality oils and balsamics are best used to dress dishes just before eating and elevate them to a much higher level altogether! For the best results dress your food with a ratio of 3 parts oil to 1 part balsamic. However our products can of course be used in cooking too but we would suggest at the end of the process to add some last minute flavour rather than at the very start when frying or sauteing.

Our olive oils typically have a shelf life of 18-24 months when stored properly, while balsamic vinegars can last for several years. Always check the label for specific expiration dates.
