WHY IS THIS NOT CERTIFIED ORGANIC: Organic Certification is expensive, especially expensive for those who farm and grow the crops and then transform into a different food, such as olive oil. Many of our supplies have been producing for generations and are family run. It’s a matter of money. The methods they use are ‘organic’ in nature but attaining the actual certification would severely affect them financially.
FUN FACTS: Extra Virgin vs. Virgin Olive Oil: Both are 100% pure, mechanically extracted olive juice. They are differentiated by free acidity and organoleptic score:
Extra virgin has acidity ≤ 0.8% and an organoleptic score requiring zero defects with fruitiness > 0;
Virgin has acidity between 0.8%–2.0% and an organoleptic score allowing minor defects (median defect >0 to ≤3.5) while still maintaining fruitiness > 0
