The Village Press

Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil

In the traditional press, olives are crushed.  A maximum water heat of 28°C is used to assist oil extraction earning its acclaimed status of "cold pressed".  This means The Village Press olive oil retains all the nutritional values highly prized with olive oil of this calibre.

Unlike the often highly refined olive oils found in many supermarkets, The Village Press olive oil is not filtered.  The slightly cloudy appearance means all the goodness and taste of the olive fruit is captured and retained adding to the enjoyment and nutritional richness of this spectacular olive oil.

Olive oil is best stored out of direct sunlight and in a cool, dark place which is why The Village Press olive oil is presented in stylish dark bottles.  This helps deflect ultra violet rays that can break down the oil and destroy its health-giving properties.
To further ensure The Village Press olive oil is enjoyed at its optimum quality, every bottle is stamped with a pressing date.  Unlike wine, olive oil does not improve in the bottle.  Buyers will know for certain that The Village Press olive oil is always fresh and pure with a distinctive taste and texture like no other.
