FAQs Answers to common questions about this product.
1. What should I look for when buying a good Italian extra virgin olive oil?

Look for clear information about where the olives are grown, the olive varieties used and how the oil is produced. Certifications such as Organic and IGP can provide additional assurance about production methods and geographical origin. Freshness, low acidity, careful extraction and protection from heat and light are also important when choosing a quality Italian extra virgin olive oil.

2. Why is Puglia famous for olive oil?

Puglia is one of Italy's great olive-growing regions, with a centuries-old tradition of producing extra virgin olive oil. Its Mediterranean climate and native olive varieties, including Coratina, Peranzana and Ogliarola, produce an extraordinary range of oils, from delicate and fruity to intensely green and peppery. Bio Orto's Olio di Puglia IGP is made from Peranzana and Ogliarola olives grown around Apricena in northern Puglia.

3. What does IGP mean on Italian olive oil?

IGP stands for Indicazione Geografica Protetta, known as Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) in English. It is a European geographical designation linking a product to a particular place and its reputation, qualities or characteristics. Olio di Puglia IGP therefore identifies an extra virgin olive oil produced in accordance with the requirements of the protected Puglian designation.

4. What is the best extra virgin olive oil for dipping bread, pasta and salads?

For dipping and finishing dishes, choose an extra virgin olive oil with enough flavour to be enjoyed raw rather than disappearing into the food. A balanced Puglian EVOO works particularly well with crusty bread, bruschetta, salads, pasta and risotto. Bio Orto Olio di Puglia IGP has vegetal notes including grass, artichoke and almond with characteristic bitterness and peppery pungency, and Bio Orto specifically recommends it with bread, bruschetta, salads, pasta and risotto.
