FOLI Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil
FOLI Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil 250ml is an elegant Spanish extra virgin olive oil made exclusively from carefully selected Picuda olives grown in the Córdoba region of Andalusia. Produced using mechanical extraction, it captures the fresh character of the olives while preserving their naturally occurring polyphenols and antioxidants. The result is a beautifully balanced olive oil with fresh herbal aromas, delicate almond notes and a silky texture, finishing with gentle peppery warmth that lingers on the palate.
Exceptionally versatile, this premium extra virgin olive oil is equally suited to everyday cooking and finishing dishes just before serving. Its low acidity and excellent oxidative stability make it ideal for drizzling over burrata, tomatoes, salads and grilled vegetables, while also performing beautifully for roasting, sautéing and Mediterranean recipes. Here at Infusions4chefs, we particularly enjoy serving it alongside artisan bread with a splash of FOLI Mature Balsamic as a simple starter that lets the quality of the oil speak for itself. As one bottle from the distinctive FOLI three-bottle collection, its unique interconnecting design also makes it a striking addition to the kitchen or dining table.

What makes Picuda olives different from other olive varieties?
Picuda olives are prized for producing olive oils with balanced fruitiness, delicate floral notes and a smooth, peppery finish. They also naturally offer excellent stability, helping the oil retain its flavour characteristics over time.
Why are olive polyphenols important?
Polyphenols are naturally occurring plant compounds found in extra virgin olive oil. Olive oil polyphenols contribute to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress, with the beneficial effect achieved through a daily intake of 20g of olive oil as part of a balanced Mediterranean-style diet.
Can extra virgin olive oil be used for cooking as well as finishing?
Yes. High-quality extra virgin olive oil is suitable for everyday cooking, including sautéing, roasting and shallow frying, while its fresh aroma and flavour also make it an excellent finishing oil for salads, soups, fish and vegetables.
