Does this olive oil have "sediment"?

This is filtered and without sediment. Sediment is in unfiltered olives oils. All Greek extra virgin olive oil is raw because it is cold-pressed. For cooking, only filtered olive oil will give good results, olive sediment may overcook and the moisture may cause splattering or affect your recipe. Filtered olive oil is shelf stable for 2 years, but unfiltered olive oil is good for less than year and is often refrigerated when open as the olive fruit sediments will start to ferment, affecting taste and purity. Olio Nuevo has the most sediment and moisture, so it is only good for 4 months. Greek olive oils are filtered shortly after picking, preserving more olive flavor and a butteriness. Unfiltered olive oil can be used on salads and raw foods if you want more olive flavor or additional micronutrients. Bragg (the unfiltered apple cider vinegar company) has unfiltered Greek olive oils available in the U.S. and other markets. I probably wouldn’t buy unfiltered olive oil if it wasn’t guaranteed to have been protected from heat.

What is the expiration date of what is being shipped now? Is it good for a year?

My can says 2021. Flavor is so subjective from person to person. My impression is that is has no bitterness and tastes very "green". I can almost drink it as it is so flavorful. It is not herbal nor floral. If you like a fresh, green taste you will like it. I use it for all my cooking and even on the most delicate of salads with a good quality balsamic vinegar.

what is the expiration date on the 3L can you received from this seller (eGourmet Foods)? plz answer if u bought a 3L can this year 2014)

2016. 3L can bought in October 2014 (last month). It's actually a longer expiration date than a 1L bottle we bought in Greece this summer. The tin comes a bit banged up, but no leaking.

Is this the current October 2018 harvest?

The harvest has barely started and it takes months to arrive in the US. Anyone saying otherwise is not telling the truth.

Bardzo dobra oliwa

Bardzo dobra oliwa. W rozmiarze takim, że starczy na dłużej nawet dla rodziny intensywnie używającej oliwy.

Olivenöl für Kenner

Ich hatte das Glück, einer Betriebsbesichtigung dieses Olivenöl Produzenten beizuwohnen. Wir konnten uns vor Ort den kompletten Weg von der Anlieferung der Olive bis zur Abfüllung in die Flasche ansehen, sowie an an einer Verkostung teilnehmen. Gepresst wurde nur ein Mal, und das natürlich kalt, schonend. Der Trester wurde sofort entsorgt und kein weiteres Mal gepresst. Das Öl ist Spitzenniveau, wie es schon die gehobene Gastronomie weiss. Ein authentisches Öl. Es schmeckt nussig und etwas blumig und hat einen langen intensiven Nachklang. (Liegt noch bis zu 10 Minuten auf Zunge und Gaumen). Wer ein hochwertiges Öl sucht, liegt hier richtig.

とても美味しい

お値段高めだし迷ったけど買って良かったです。そのまま食べてもくせがないし、ドレッシングに使うととても美味しい。もちろん加熱しても良い香りでお値段だけのことはあります。最初は香りが足りない？と思ったけど丁寧に絞った上質のオイルだったからなのだと思いました。

So Happy That I Found This Olive Oil!!

This is my go to Olive Oil! Great taste and so healthy! I've been ordering it for about 3 years now. The one thing that I'm wondering is, why there isn't the tape across the top with the Lot # and year on every can that I buy. Could that mean it's not authentic Terra Creta olive oil? Why would it only be on some of them and not all?
