Cold pressed. Olio Santo is an ancient term meaning 'Oil of the Saints', and refers to a time when the first press of the olives, the best oil, was allocated to the church for use in religious ceremonies. Today, our Olio Santo is still the finest oil of the harvest, cold-pressed and blended in small batches to insure consistent quality, flavor, and freshness. Since 1996 - 20 years! - one of the most respected, certified extra virgin olive oils in the world. Phone/Fax 908-372-0965/0960. COOC certified. Product of California.
