Frequently Asked Questions (Google's Top Searches)
Where is Erato Extra Virgin Olive Oil produced?
Erato Extra Virgin Olive Oil is produced in Greece, harvested from traditional Mediterranean olive cultivars known for producing well-rounded, low-acidity oils.
Why is a 4-Litre tin better than a glass or plastic bottle?
Olive oil's three greatest enemies are light, heat, and oxygen. The opaque metal tin provides 100% protection against light and UV exposure—the leading cause of rancidity in olive oils—ensuring your bulk oil stays fresh and vibrant throughout its shelf life.
Can you cook and fry with Erato Extra Virgin Olive Oil?
Yes! Quality extra virgin olive oil has a smoke point of approximately 190°C to 210°C (375°F to 410°F). This makes Erato EVOO ideal for everyday stove-top cooking, sautéing, baking, and oven-roasting vegetables without breaking down or compromising health benefits.
What does low acidity in extra virgin olive oil mean?
To earn the official classification of Extra Virgin, olive oil must have a free acidity level of less than 0.8%. Low acidity signifies that the olives were healthy, freshly harvested, and processed rapidly without damage or oxidation, resulting in a cleaner flavor and higher antioxidant quality.
How should you store a 4L tin of olive oil?
Store the tin in a cool, dark pantry or cupboard away from heat sources like stoves, ovens, or direct sunlight. Kitchen Tip: Decant a small portion into a dark glass dispenser bottle for daily stove-side drizzling, while keeping the main 4L tin tightly sealed in your pantry.
Is Erato Extra Virgin Olive Oil vegan and gluten-free?
Yes. Erato EVOO is 100% pure, unrefined plant oil. It is naturally vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, non-GMO, and keto/paleo-friendly.
