Extra Virgin Ripe Olive Oil 450g

100% juice made only from fully ripe fruit.

The "extra virgin ripe olive oil" is 100% juice pressed directly from fully ripe olives. It has a fragrant aroma and a taste that highlights the flavor of the olives.

High-quality extra virgin olive oil varies in "taste and aroma" depending on factors such as the "region" of production, "variety," and "the time from harvest to pressing," making it enjoyable to explore your own preferences, much like with wine.

Inoue Seikouen's Commitment

As olive fruits reach maturity, they change from green to red-purple and then to black. The owner has divided this ripeness into "eight stages" and noticed that pressing olive oil at each stage results in significant differences in flavor.

We select only the fruits at ripeness levels 5 to 7 to produce our "fully ripe olive oil."

Our commitment to producing exceptional olive oil in collaboration with our partner farm in Spain, the Luque family, with whom we share our "passion."

To ensure a steady supply of olive oil, we have been working with the Luque family, who practice organic and pesticide-free olive cultivation in Spain, the world's largest olive-producing region, for over 15 years.

"We want to deliver safe, secure, and high-quality products to our customers with the discerning eye that only an olive farmer possesses." With this sentiment in mind, the owner and the oil extraction manager, Otsubo, travel to Spain every year to verify the quality.

The "golden oil," extra virgin olive oil, born from nature's blessings

In the "Seven Countries Study" conducted by Dr. Keys and others in the United States in 1958, it was found that people in Mediterranean countries, who consume a lot of olive oil, have lower serum cholesterol levels and a lower mortality rate from heart disease compared to those in the U.S. and other regions.

The secret to a long and healthy life lies in dietary habits

The health benefits of the Mediterranean diet, a dietary pattern along the Mediterranean coast, have been proven by various studies and are gaining attention. A distinctive feature of this diet is the daily consumption of olive oil alongside vegetables, dairy products, nuts, and fruits. In particular, the Mediterranean region is known for its active olive cultivation, and many traditional dishes make generous use of extra virgin olive oil, supporting the health of its people.

This oil is versatile and convenient, as it tastes great whether drizzled directly or heated!

If you only use it for bread or salads, we encourage you to try using fully ripe oil in your everyday cooking. It is heat-resistant, enhances the flavor of the ingredients, and tastes delicious even when cooled, making it perfect for meal prep.
