When most people think of olive oil, the first thing that comes to mind is healthier cooking.  In our home, olive oil has so many uses, when we get a bottle, it never lasts long enough to cook much with it.  We use it for everything from scalp conditioning to doctoring up cuts and scrapes!  Farchioni Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the perfect oil for all of your family’s oil needs.

Farchioni Oil has been around since 1780 near Spoleto, Italy, and they have the same values today as they did way back when.  Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) is the freshly cold pressed juice of olives. Cold pressed basically means that it’s not pressed with heat or chemicals, so you have a pure oil.

According to the website, Farchioni Oil has a multitude of health benefits including cardiovascular, good cholesterol, anti-oxidants, vitamins, and so much more.

I’ve always known that not all EVOOs are created equally, but I didn’t realize that in different areas, you get completely different colors and flavors.  Now that I think about it, it completely makes sense.  Check this out:

Spanish oil is typically golden yellow with a fruity, nutty flavor.Farchioni Class Oil

Italian olive oil is often dark green and has an herbal aroma and a grassy flavor.

Greek olive oil packs a strong flavor and aroma and tends to be green.

French oil is typically pale in color and has a mild flavor.

Here are some other great facts about olive oil that is great to have if you are serious about knowing your oils.

  • Store oil in a dark cool pantry away from heat and light which causes decay.
  • 57°F is the best temperature for storing and beware not to store your oil next to the stove.
  • To ensure freshness, consume oil within 6 months from opening.
