Extra Virgin has a large selection of antioxidants in the form of polyphenols. Premium extra virgin olive oil has the highest levels of polyphenols and omega-3-fatty acids (linolenic acid), is a mono-unsaturated fat and has the lowest levels of saturated fats and omega-6-fatty acids. Many studies have shown the myriad of chemical components and fatty acids in extra virgin olive oil balance good and bad cholesterol levels. Extra virgin olive oil is perhaps the healthiest oil we can consume.

Monte Carlo's oils have a fruity taste on the front of the tongue and a spicy feel on the back of the throat. Researchers now know that it's the bite in the back of your throat that means the oil is full of antioxidants and polyphenols that help keep the body healthy. Our four Tuscan olive varieties, Frantoio, Leccino, Maurino and Pendolino, provide a peppery green flavor good for meats, salads and most vegetables. Top-grade extra virgin olive oils are perfect for finishing sauces, drizzling on salads, vegetables, meats, chicken or fish and the pure pleasure of dipping into with sourdough bread.

Our olives are picked mid Oct - Nov each year and within 24-36 hours our harvest is processed by Olivina in Livermore
