The Village Press

Highly recommended by Consumer Magazine

Extra-virgin olive oil is the highest-quality olive oil you can buy. But Consumer Magazine has found many that weren't worthy of the "extra-virgin" tag.

They put 21 extra-virgin olive oils from New Zealand, Australia and Europe through a chemical test, and also asked a panel of expert tasters to assess their quality.

The results of the test show that fresh is best! The Village Press Peta Mathias and Frantoio oils were highly recommended as the two top oils to buy. The judges commented that these two oils had all of the qualities they were looking for - good aromas with lots of olive fruity flavours. They were also well balanced. These oils were also in dark bottles, which are better protected from the light.
