Frequently Asked Questions (Google's Top Searches)
Where is Argolis Extra Virgin Olive Oil produced?
Argolis Extra Virgin Olive Oil is sourced directly from the Peloponnese region of Southern Greece. The region's Argolis peninsula provides ideal soil conditions, microclimate, and abundant sunshine for growing world-class Greek olive varieties.
Is Argolis Extra Virgin Olive Oil cold-pressed?
Yes! Argolis olive oil is produced using first cold extraction methods. The olives are mechanically crushed at temperatures kept strictly below 27°C (80°F), ensuring that the oil retains its delicate flavors, natural vitamins, and heat-sensitive antioxidants.
Can you cook with Argolis Extra Virgin Olive Oil?
Yes. Quality extra virgin olive oil has a smoke point of around 190°C to 210°C (375°F to 410°F), making it suitable for everyday cooking, including light frying, roasting, and sauteing. However, to preserve its full flavor and nutritional benefits, it shines brightest when drizzled raw over finished dishes, salads, and bread.
How can I tell if Extra Virgin Olive Oil is real and fresh?
Authentic extra virgin olive oil like Argolis has a fresh, grassy, or fruity aroma and a slight pepperiness at the back of the throat (caused by active polyphenol antioxidants). Look for dark glass bottles or opaque tins that shield the oil from light degradation.
Is Argolis Extra Virgin Olive Oil vegan and gluten-free?
Yes. Argolis is 100% pure, unrefined plant oil, making it naturally vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and suitable for Keto, Paleo, and Mediterranean diets.
How should I store Argolis Extra Virgin Olive Oil?
Keep your olive oil in a cool, dark place away from heat, light, and air (such as a kitchen pantry or cabinet away from the stove). Do not store it in the refrigerator, as cold temperatures cause natural olive waxes to solidify. Once opened, consume within 3 to 6 months for optimal flavor.
