I was buying supermarket branded products which got ever more expensive and then realised I could get a better value product if I bought in bulk. For me, this is it. I make a lot of bean and feta salads, for which this oil is perfect, as well as drizzling over bread and other salads. For me, it is slightly peppery without being too over-powering, which is just how I like it. ## Features - Packaged in a 5-litre tin - Cultivated and produced in Italy; olives are collected and pressed solely via mechanical means, including cold extraction - Perfect for adding extra flavour to cooked vegetables, legumes, and soups - With a fine, well-balanced aroma - Flavours of fresh artichokes and herbs - Visit the BRAND STORE to discover our full range of products!

(about 180 centigrades, you do not want to go any higher) It is in fact perfect for frying as lower temperatures will cause your food to go soggy and oily) Some argue that, unlike ground nuts, it has a strong taste but that's a matter of preferences and it would depend on the individual oil. As a rule of thumb any other cooking technique requires lower temperatures and it is not an issue. Isn't it fascinating how many people feel compelled to give answers when they're not informed? **Q: What is the shelf life of the product from manufacture?** A: The date stamp on a container we just got is 23 November 2023, so about a year. Hope this helps. **Q: what is the acidity level of this product?** A: 0.4% hope this answers your question. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A True Culinary Gem! *by F***G on 10 January 2025* I've recently started using Terre di Colombo Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and it has been a fantastic addition to my kitchen.
