Extra Virgin 3.38 fl oz (100ml)
Extra virgin olive oil is the highest quality olive oil. By definition it must have some fruity flavor, zero defects, free fatty acid level below 0.8%, and be derived by cold extraction below 27°C ~ 80°F.
Varietals: Itrana, Caninese
There are hundreds of olive tree varieties, each with its own distinct taste and aromas.
Intensity: Mild
Intensity correlates to the amount of bitterness and/or pungency experienced when consuming an extra virgin olive oil. An olive oil with little bitterness that creates little to no sensation in the back of the throat is considered mild. A very bitter olive oil that causes a slight burning or spicy sensation in the mouth and throat is robust. We rate intensity between 5 values: Mild, Medium, Medium Robust, Robust and Extreme.
Polyphenols (mg/kg): 293
Polyphenols are antioxidant micronutrients found in plant-based foods. The phenolic concentration in olive oil depends on variables like the variety, ripeness at harvest, extraction methods, etc. Visit our Health Benefits page to learn more.
Acidity (%): 0.15
Acidity is one of the quality parameters set by the IOC for extra virgin olive oil. By definition extra virgin olive oil must have a free fatty acid level below 0.8%. Acidity CANNOT be detected by sensory analysis. This value is always determined by a laboratory.
Harvest Date: Fall 2023
As a fresh food product, properly stored olive oil should be consumed within 2 years from the time of harvest for best flavor. Harvest runs from October through January in Northern Hemisphere regions, and from April through July in Southern Hemisphere regions.

Tamia
From the area of Tuscia, to the northeast of Rome in the province of Lazio, Tamia continues the regional traditions of producing quality olive oil in their unique and nutrient-rich volcanic soil. While leaning on their distinct local olive variety, Caninese, Tamia also produces an organic Maurino monocultivar oil, and extra virgin blends that incorporate the more common Frantoio and Leccino varieties.
The company has its roots in Tuscia dating back to 1928, with the founders' studious ways leading them to focus on quality, and eventually convert to entirely organic production by the end of the 20th century. The Tamia brand was born in 2012, and it has since won many awards, both in Italy and across the globe, including best Organic Delicate EVOO at the New York IOOC.
