A Versatile Extra Virgin Olive Oil for Daily Cooking

After last year’s olive oil earned rave reviews, we jumped at the chance to team up with João again—this time to create a versatile olive oil in a larger 750ml bottle for everyday cooking. 

Sourced from coastal Arbequina groves in Ribatejo, this oil is smooth and well-balanced, with a buttery texture and gentle fruitiness. By harvesting in November rather than October, producer João Mendes allows the olives to develop a milder, rounder profile, perfect for everyday cooking.

Cold-pressed at producer João Mendes’ mill, it is perfect for sautéing, roasting, dipping, or drizzling over fresh salads, bringing versatility and quality to everyday cooking.

Tasting Notes

  • Aromas: Ripe banana, walnut, avocado, and fresh-cut grass
  • Flavor Profile: Smooth and buttery, with a delicate nuttiness and a light peppery kick
  • Best For: Sautéing, roasting, dipping with warm bread, or making a silky homemade vinaigrette

What Makes It Special

  • A balanced, all-purpose extra virgin olive oil – Perfect for both high-heat cooking and finishing dishes.
  • November harvest for a smoother, buttery flavor – Later-picked olives create a rounder, more approachable profile.
  • Grown near the Atlantic – Arbequina olives thrive in João’s coastal groves, adding a touch of maritime freshness.
  • Made by a master miller – João’s expertise ensures consistent quality in every bottle.
  • Sustainably produced – João’s zero-waste approach ensures that every part of the olive is put to good use.
