Indulge in the Essence of the Olive
The Essential Pantry
Discover what the Mediterranean has to offer.
The Essential Pantry has partnered with the finest producers of Extra
Virgin Olive Oil in the world. Our producers bring the liquid gold to
market from regions of the Mediterranean that include Morocco,
Turkey, Tunisian, Italy, and Argentina.
The evolution of the olive from tree to bottle is a pure and heartfelt
process. These growers have generations of deep understanding of
their craft, building on ancestorial methods while embracing modern
technology.
Let’s Learn. What is EVOO? Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) simply represents the nectar of the olive. Using a gentle extraction of the oil from the olive, avoiding heat and chemicals, identifies EVOO. Why EVOO? What’s in it for me? Often called an elixir of health EVOO has been known for numerous accolades: • Rich in Monounsaturated Fats: These healthy fats help reduce bad cholesterol levels and support heart health. • High in Antioxidants: Protects your body from free radicals, potentially lowering the risk of chronic diseases. • Anti-inflammatory Properties: Naturally helps to reduce inflammation throughout the body. • Improves Cognitive Function: Supports brain health and may help in reducing the risk of cognitive decline. • Protects Against Heart Disease: Regular consumption can contribute to cardiovascular well-being. • Packed with Vitamins: Bursting with Vitamin E and Vitamin K, essential for maintaining overall health. Types of EVOOMore Learning.
Though the Olive Oil is a simple and pure process it can be
influenced:
You may have learned that EVOO is a foundational product that can be influenced by processes that can alter the aroma, taste, and texture of the oil. Common Terminology: Fused EVOO: Also known as Armato, this type is made by crushing olives and fruits/herbs together. Infused EVOO: Created by adding flavoring agents like herbs, spices, or citrus to already extracted EVOO. This can take weeks of carefully monitoring the perfect balance of herbs and spices for the ultimate result. Flavored EVOO: Commercially flavored using natural or artificial flavors post-extraction to create a variety of taste profiles. Book a tasting party with your friends!

What about price and availability?
Climate and Regional Attributes
As with most crops, climate and weather patterns play a pivotal role in
the quality and availability and pricing of EVOO. Variations in climate
and weather conditions across different regions contribute to distinct
flavor profiles and quantities of the olive oil produced:
Let’s talk about details: Regions of Origin.
•
Spain: When you think of Spain, known for their culinary excellence
of the flame, we can agree that their EVOO is known for producing
robust and peppery oils, thanks to its warm and consistent climate.
The Essential Pantry has ready to sample our Spanish Signature
Blend where you can be the judge.
•
Morocco: The hot and arid climate results in rich, fruity flavors with
a hint of bitterness.
•
Italy: Varied climate across regions allows for a wide range of
flavors, from mild and buttery to green and grassy.
•
Turkey: Mediterranean climate produces fruity and mildly spicy oils,
often with a slight bitterness.
